The fact that the EU is still holding back just makes me feel 10x worst because you can tell Europe doesn’t want to do anything to hurt its allies while our president is going nuclear on everyone….
Why is eu just giving in? These idiots don’t know what they are doing – wait them out
It sucks.
I would love to see open talks between EU, Canada, UK, Australia, Japan, Mexico and other big countries together with China on how to nuke US economy with 50% tariffs and taxes on their Tech giants. Or at least threaten US with it, because they would have to back down.
It would basically force Republicans to take away toy tariffs from Trump.
The issue is, that we still kinda need US, even though they are led by complete moron.
Weak.
So, just going to let the bully win. No western country will stand their ground against Trump. Good to see China has a pair to stand up to Trump.
I hope EU citizens do not buy American goods.
I think dropping the tariffs on bourbon is a mistake.
Although we took all usa liquour completely off the shelves, we got the most reaction out of bourbon. Two of the four republican senators that recently voted to remove tariffs from Canada came from kentucky, and the main reason was the bourbon.
I get it though, you want to save your industries as much as possible so I am not here to criticize. Maybe you will be better off not hitting them back where it really hurts or maybe the voluntary boycott will be effective?
The EU can drop tariff but if more & more people start boycotting US products & support local products instead then not a lot of things will change
Come on guys. How long do you think the US can survive those tariffs anyway? China will definitely refuse to lower their own tariffs which means that from tomorrow on the US will pay an additional 104% on imported chinese goods. That alone would be an industry killer. But add the tariffs on basically ever imported product and they are fucked. What does that cost on average? everything 30, 50, 70% more expensive over night? Could you even imagine that? After half a year america will be burning and Trump dangles on a tree. Those counter tariffs aren’t gonna change a thing about that either way. If anything we protect our own citizens and industries from disadvantages and we don’t deliver a shallow basis for trump to claim why it would have worked otherwise. America is fucked, they allready lost their world leader position and next year they probably gonna lose their petro-dollar too. If anything we have to prepare for a US that lost all its power except for their military. Relax, let time deliver the final blow
At least consumers can stop buying American goods and services! You can do it Europeans!
All the people wanting an actual economic war.. calm your tits. This is for the grown ups to handle.
Yes there is inter EU politics at work.. and it’s good news the EU still has the ability to take specific member requirements and worries into account.
This is not bending the knee. Even doing nothing would not be bending the knee.
Trump is busy taxing the snot out of his own population.. and people here are calling for our politicians to do the same.. wtf.
Let them handle it.. let cooler heads take the time and make the right plays. Instead of shooting from the hip and getting it wrong.
Remember all that shit here about “Why UK not talking about implementing tariffs”? This is why, EU just became the next Putin, all red lines but no balls.
Don’t make specific threats if you are not going to back them up.
The joke is that he is just going to raise them higher because you just showed “weakness”.
Remember, you aren’t negotiating with a businessman, you are dealing with a edgy 13 year old that gets made fun of by the girls because he doesn’t know how to wash himself and has a double digit IQ.
So essentially Trump was right again. He must get tired of all the winning…but maybe not?
This just reveals that the EU is a sham in many ways, that it pretends to present a united front at first but as soon as nation states like Italian cheeses or French wines or German cars are threatened, all the ‘solidarity’ goes out the window and they give in almost immediately.
It’s cool, never buying a bourbon again anyways, just finished my last bottle and gonna replace it with a good ol’ Irish
Anthony Scaramucci, former Trump communications director:
>Scaramucci: If you and I got in a room and said “Okay here’s what we need to do, let’s see if we can dismantle the world’s trading system, weaken the United States and let’s see if we can disenfranchise ourselves from our European allies and other nations where we had strong reliant partnerships, and let’s see if we can help the Chinese and the Russians,” I don’t think you and I could have come up with a better plan…
>This is an American Brexit… If he (Trump) wanted to solve a problem you certainly would not handle it this way with this level of hostility
>*Presenter: What in a nutshell would be your advice be …to those overseas leaders who are sort of queuing up, trying to get Donald Trump on the phone? What should they be saying in a nutshell?*
>Scaramucci: I wouldn’t be calling him, actually.
>*Presenter: We’re told they’re calling him. What should they say to the president?*
>Scaramucci: **My advice to them is hang up the phone. Stop calling him** and let this thing ride itself out because he’s going to be forced to capitulate. The market and the American people are going to force him to capitulate. **Think like Prime Minister Carney. Don’t let the guy bully you. Hang up the phone.**

He’s absolutely right.
Take it one step further: Ally with the Canadians and take a firm stand as a bloc, with Carney in the lead.
Trump wants to play divide-and-conquer. Don’t let him get away with it.
Take advice from another American:
*We must all hang together or we will all hang separately*
*- Benjamin Franklin*
They can drop the Tariffs but we don’t have to buy it, let our vocal and active avoidance of these products be the Tariff.
EU has weak lidership and to much bureaucracy. That’s why we are never competitive.
And Trump knows that and do what ever he want… We just getting bullied and we let US bully us..
Do whatever you want. I am not buying anything from the US. My MacBook is 3yo, but I’m perfectly fine going back to Linux on a Framework laptop.
Eat a bug of rusty ones.
EUseless. It’s now up to everyday Europeans to do the right thing that their politicians won’t.
Drop them from tariffs and have consumers boycott. Better result.
And the EU disappoints the whole continent once again.
Fucking pathetic to see the individual national governments sabotage the united front as soon as one of their flagships is touched. Be it Italian cheese, french wine, or the german auto industry.
So much for Macron’s boasting and shit talk about the strength of Europe and the EU.
The only countries with balls are apparently the canadians and the chinese.
The fact our politicians in Europe are that spineless and shortsighted that they’re unable to see that the US is self-destructing and they would only need to wait out for it…
But now, they had to fucking be pathetic again.
Looks like this article was written over a week ago, just skimmed through and there’s no mention of the new tariffs just the steel/aluminium from back in march.
This is a big mistake. Stop trying to placate Yam Tits.
What was this speech given by Ursula von der Leyen last week then? It felt like Europe was much more willing to strike back then. This seems like just folding.
Absolutely spineless. So much for the EU rising. First, it was changing the wording of “Rearm”.. now this. FFS
Smells like BITCH in Brussels.
With responses like this we’ll always be at the whim of big bullies.
Just stop buying American goods full stop, tariffs or not.
Boycott American products anyway.
Canadian purchasing choices are having a huge economic impact, in addition to counter tariffs. Stores have stopped stocking American goods they cannot sell.
