Donald Trump said he had decided to slap 25 per cent tariffs on imports from the European Union, as he lashed out at the bloc, saying it “was formed to screw the United States”.
“We have made a decision and we’ll be announcing it very soon. It’ll be 25 per cent,” the US president said during a cabinet meeting on Wednesday.
The US president said the levies would be applied “generally”, though he specifically mentioned that they would hit car imports.

What does he want now ? He’s using tariffs to scare countries into submission, how EU will respond? It’s very clear that he wants EU dismantled by all his actions, like talking separately with each country, instead of EU representatives, offering deals, etc After France from what I know Poland is next to visit trump.

And Europe will do what they did last time. Tariffs everything from republican States so congress reigns him in.

So… how are eggs doing?

Seems reasonable in that case to put a 25% tariff on all US financial services, software services, consulting services etc.

Ban X, tax US digital companies for the EU citizen data they use. The tax rate should be the value which roughly compensates the damage to EU GDP resulting from these tarrifs.

The EU will react with targeted tariffs hurting every red state.

Welcome to the party, EU! The water’s warm and the tariffs are yet to materialize.

Is this because Macron made him look like a lying dickhead perchance?

Trump knows he is in deep shit with the budget deficit he cuts taxes for billionaires that got him to power and will keep him there and doesnt want to raise taxes too much for the plebs. So he raises hidden tax through putting tariffs on everyone else.

Corrected headline: Trump puts a 25% tax on US consumers of EU goods

The EU better negotiate with Canada and Mexico tariffs on US agricultural products.
Also I’ve heard Turkey is exporting eggs to America, perhaps there’s a way to stop that too

Call th bluff / economic suicide. If Americans want to pay 25% on everything imported that sounds great to me. Also turns out we just freed up significant markets in Canada and Mexico and likely every other former ally country that would be more than happy to trade with you rather than the states.

I would prefer targeted things. Like a twitter ban and 100% tarrifs on tesla for instance.

That’s great. Prices of imports from the EU will be lower for other countries….. no-one needs to be exporting to the US…..

Have fun switching out the EU as a trading partner with russia & North-Korea, the new alliance. Let’s see how that will work out for the US.

The United States is no longer our friend, no longer our ally. They are at best a transactional partner determined to extract the maximum benefit for themselves from our relationship. This is the fact. Any politician who fails to realise and operate on that basis should be considered one of two things moving forward 1) a fool, and I do not want my life in the hands of a fool or 2) a traitor, and I do not want my life or money in the hands of traitors who are so addicted to US propaganda that they’d rather see Europe fail than Trump (and by extension themselves) embarrassed.
Boycott USA. Buy European. Remember your Friends.

Fuck Trump, let’s make Europe great again!

If it happens, I hope it happens concurrently with the U.S. tariffs on Mexico and Canada. So the retaliatory tariffs from all 3 kick in at once. Far better that, than him taking on each one at a time.
