Trump is rejecting the European Union’s offer of “zero-for-zero” tariffs with the U.S. for industrial goods.
“No, it’s not,” Trump said in the Oval Office when asked if the deal, which European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen floated earlier Monday, was enough.
“They’re screwing us on trade,” Trump said, criticizing the EU and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, or NATO.
Two Republican senators, Mike Lee of Utah and Wisconsin’s Ron Johnson, have encouraged Trump to take von der Leyen’s deal.

Wow Trump is a fucking moron. Make us bleed Eurobros, it is the only way to knock some sense into the rest of the country that hasn’t gotten the memo yet.

Trump doesn’t want to just “close” the surplus with the EU, he wants to dominate it so he can brag about it.
If only Trump brings this same energy against Russia-Ukraine conflict….

It was a polite offer for Trump to save face and not crash the US economy. Well, it looks like he decided to not change his course.

He wants Europeans to buy fucking American Trucks. Dream on, dude.

Good.
Europe needs to toughen up, not this degeneracy of appeasement I’m seeing.

No surprise, the guy thinks that the EU is screwing the US because we have a VAT…
Target the red states with retaliatory tariffs, sign free trade agreements with non-US and then wait to see what happens in MAGA land.

Honestly this kind of short sightedness is worrying. The EU is still a major global player and pushing allies away doesn’t make the U.S. stronger it just makes the world more unstable. Cooperation > confrontation every time.

What does he even mean by “screwing us on trade” like what does he actually even mean by that?

Zero-for-zero gives him zero in his own pocket and that is all that this is about.

He wants to force the EU to get rid of all regulations so the poor europeans can finally buy inferior products from the US…. listening to this guy makes you stupid

Absolutely insane. This was his “save face”-option.
I hope Europe doesn’t fold now.

Remember that Trump is a zero sum guy. He only believes in win/lose deals. If you’re happy with the deal, his dumb ass thinks he got ripped off somehow. Also remember that he’s a neo Mercantilist;he thinks that there’s a finite amount of money in the world and that the U.S should have as much as possible. And last, remember that he is completely unreliable and has a long history of not fulfilling /living up to his end of any deal.
TMLSS: Deal with him at your own risk. Do not trust him. Do not expect him to come to the bargaining table in good faith and expect his stupidity, arrogance and ignorance to reveal themselves immediately.

Europe outright needs to stop attempting appeasement. And just hit back hard and one way of doing this is by not buying arms and other weapon systems from the United States.

Good. Now force tech companies to pay taxes in the country where they made their revenues, just like all other SME must.
And ban social media under the age of 18 with a hard ID check / age gate and hefty fines. And ban X alltogether. You’ll do society a favour with this.
And yes, the US will abandon NATO as a consequence, but they did already anyways. Fuck them.

It is so pathetic that we even tried to appease a lunatic wannabe dictator. We need to grow a spine and fight back.
We don’t try to appease Putin, so why should we tried to appease his friend?

This orange cl0wn wants us to abandon food from our farmers that is healthy, certified, and meets a shitload of standards, so that it can be sold in stores and replace it with uncertified junk shit from America. No thanks.

He he lol he thought that this was a deal, it was a warning. We didn’t alienate the entire world, they did. We can easily find new trade partners and score a good deals, he can’t anymore. Volatility price will be for years to come included in all trade deals with US
