“The EU’s punitive action completely disregards the national security imperatives of the United States – and indeed international security – and is yet another indicator that the EU’s trade and economic policies are out of step with reality,” Greer said.
So they start a trade war, then say it goes against US and International security interests to retaliate?
Am I getting this right or am I missing something here? Politics are f*****.

Security needs? USA requires USA-tariffed countries to apply no tariffs on USA for the USA to feel secure? Internationally secure even? 😀

The Trump trade war with all of the USA’s allies and immediate neighbours and undermining of NATO is a far more pressing issue. Perhaps he should go deal with that before whining about national security implications of something that’s not even relevant to the topic.
Everything’s ‘national security’ … seemingly including taking over Greenland.
His government has instigated a trade war. There are consequences to that – quite serious ones.
We’re basically dealing with twitter trolls, not politicians.

Perhaps if they spent less on golfing and more on national security they wouldn’t need the EU to prop them up /s (obvs)

We the Europeans don’t ignore US national security needs. We simply don’t care about them.

The US has launched a trade war on us, what response did they expect from the EU, a bouquet of flowers and a thank you card?
Are there any adults in that WH at all?

Trump’s America is what you get when you assume influence equals power. America is trying to strongarm Europe while assuming they can simultaneously retain their influence over the continent and persuade European nations to take US national security into consideration, but influence rests on respect and the US government has been speedrunning its way to losing all the respect previous governments spent a century building with Europe.

Dear Mr.Greer.
That’s the whole point. US National Security needs are not the concern of Europe.
That’s maybe something the US should have thought of before you introduced Tarrifs.
You’re like the schoolyard bully who has suddenly had the shite kicked out of him, and is now running home to mommy crying “Mom, they hit back. That’s not fair!”
Karma.

I mean you can’t argue with the base statement – if I punch you in the face, you punching me back _is_ ignoring my security needs. The problem is that I was basically asking for it.

As I said on a parallel post:
Coming from an American here… so fucking what? If the US is concerned about its national security needs, then *stop antagonizing allies*!!
The primary threat to US national security needs is Trump, the spineless Republicans who support him, Musk, and the opportunistic bottom feeders that have been placed in his administration.

Europe was very loyal partner to US until they started to treat us badly. Now we don’t give a fuck about US security needs.

Messaging like this is for internal consumption. Most of their voters are oblivious to what’s happening beyond their borders, and it’s to create a feeling of victimhood and to instill them a sense of “see? Everyone’s out to get us. It’s valiant us versus the bad world”.
