The dithering Europeans will lose this, they are falling apart. Too cheap to pay for their own defense…

*The European Union is retaliating against U.S. President Donald Trump by imposing several tariffs on U.S. industrial and farm products.*
*The action comes after Trump announced that he would raise the tariffs on all steel and aluminum imports to 25%.*
*While the world’s biggest trading bloc was expecting the U.S. tariffs and prepared in advance, the increase in tariffs has only heightened already tense transatlantic relations between the U.S. and its worldly neighbors. The brand-new measures will reportedly cover goods from the United States worth some $28 billion and will not just target steel and aluminum products but also textiles, home appliances, and agricultural goods.*
*[…] The American Chamber of Commerce, the world’s largest business organization, which claims to fight for the best interests of free enterprise, reportedly told the EU that the U.S. tariffs and EU countermeasures “will only harm jobs, prosperity, and security on both sides of the Atlantic.”*
*“The two sides must de-escalate and find a negotiated outcome urgently,” the chamber said Wednesday. This is not the first time that Trump has slapped tariffs on the EU.*

For the record, VA went to Biden in 2020 and Harris in 2024. They are considered a swing state, not Republican.

Next will start the whining –
“It’s illegal to target red states!”

What do we mean ‘Republican states’? Kansas has a Democrat governor. Okay, North Carolina, Texas and Florida have abandoned democracy – but the rest are ‘Republican’ because Democrats don’t bother competing. Why are there still so many uncontested Congressional seats?!

It’s worth pointing out that last time Donald Trump put tariffs on steel and aluminium, the EU retaliated with tariffs for approximately 10% of what Trump imposed on the EU. The EU basically adopted a friendly and diplomatic strategy back then, believing that Trump could be negotiated with. He couldn’t.
Having learned the lesson, this time the same tariffs on steel and aluminium are being met with equal force. So Trumps tariffs worth 28 billion are being met with 26 billion in retaliatory tariffs (slightly less because the EU doesn’t want to escalate the trade war).
So whereas Trump got a little slap on the wrist last time from the EU, this time he’s getting a fist in the face.
And from the EU side of things, this 99 page long list of tariffs to be imposed by the EU is just the first step of what is to come in case this trade war escalates. This is not the bazooka that’s been talked about. That can come into play later.
Donald Trump has until April 1 to respond, or these tariffs go into effect. So we’ll see if Trump is going to double down or if he’ll fold.

All right, following Canada’s lead. Hit them where it hurts.

Only 6. Pretty sure there are more than 6, or are they going to target more in round 2 ?

I just want to be clear that no government funds should be used to bail out anyone who lives in the coast. If climate change is a hoax, that shouldn’t be a problem.
