Then, veto it…
We’ll see if it’s just empty words.
Considering the PM’s position, I doubt he would have said anything without the approval of Macron. I wonder if France will veto the deal.
>“It is a sombre day when an alliance of free peoples, brought together to affirm their common values and to defend their common interests, resigns itself to submission,” wrote Bayrou on X.
As a french this is the first time I’m agree with him… WTF is happening ?! Do basically all Europe is screwed just to “protect” german’s automobile industry or I’m missing a point ? (This is a real question)
Veto this shit.
Again, the French are right about the Americans
This “deal” will have much deeper political implications than anything from the sphere of economics. The demonstrative humiliation was already carried out, the rift between the vehement opposers of Europe’s vassalage and the “let’s wait out for the next US admin” camp widened, and the zugzwang situation achieved.
Populistic grifter parties and the Heritage Foundation are celebrating today and sharpening spears for the pending skewing of Europe in the second half of this decade.
I’m just hoping for Wallonia to uphand the whole world trade system by refusing to sign it tbh
God I hope Britain becomes a trade hub between Europe and the Americans. I hope we get to squeeze you bastards like you attempted to do to us during the Brexit negotiations.
*Edit*
Your down-votes don’t mean anything to me, I’ve seen what makes you people up-vote.
A total capitulation. It will lead to inflation in both Europe and America and Trump’s MAGA morons will gladly thump themselves in the face (pay the tariffs) while claiming they’re “owning Europe”.
It is time for Europe to grow up. There is no room for timid thinking anymore.
If you see a monkey with a nuclear handgranade, you give him the banana – at least until you can figure out how to control him or if you already know that he will be gone in 3 years.
You could…veto the deal?
Oh wait. Only Orban can veto.
My mistake then
If this is not vetoed then he can just fuck off with this performative bullshit.
This has the stench of the German auto lobby all over it so you’d think that at least here in Germany people would welcome this deal but the BDI (the biggest German industry lobby group) is actually very unhappy.
What do you call a deal that nobody likes? I’d call that a total failure.
This is what you get for outsourcing your defense and let ideology drive your political decisions
EU strategy seems like keep your heads down, lick some Trump ass until he goes away.
VdL is such a great negotiator 🙄
An entire new generation of people just discovered the EU is weak and spineless and full of shit and build to protect German interest.
Wrong picture, this is not the French PM
The US is treating EU like how the British used to treat their colonies. The ironic part? Those colonies tried to fight back while EU is sucking Trump’s dick without even trying.
France will do nothing because she is totally alone on that and does not have the means to move even an inch against the US interests
Germany and Italy pushed for the deal in a desperate attempt to save what they can and other EU countries are either irrelevant, fully aligned on US interests or even acting against us, the French.
So the Americans have to pay 15% more on imports from the EU then…
End NATO and cut ties with the US. We need not be enemies, but the US of A are not our friends or allies anymore.
It’s a sombré day we cannot keep ripping off the Americans while badmouthing them. Now we have to equalize our tariffs
Inevitable so long as we depend on others for energy, defence, tech and large companies. But Europeans would rather complain about cost and not insulate their homes. Be “edgy” and negative about soldiers and the army. Fail to invest in, develop and use our own tech. Fail to implement a capital markets union. And more things besides that. We’ve made ourselves into dependent children. We can’t cry now that we’re treated as such.
We are in this position of weakness because for decades we neglected the most important responsibility of the state: Military defense. We allowed ourselves to become dependent on US protecting us.
This shouldn’t be a day of moaning but a day of self-criticism and determination to never let it happen again.
Strong words, zero action. Bowing down to Trump and kissing the ring while complaining loudly. France and the EU lack backbone; most of our leaders’ political legitimacy is so fragile that they are afraid to make any decisive moves.
Europe is steadily becoming a poorer continent due to its weakness, even though it has the means to be so much more. This is a disgrace and a shame.
Please everyone, contact your governments to let them know you disagree with the deal! We must protect our European values even if our politicians are willing to sell them out for short term gains!
What a joke of a deal by some unelected stooges like Von Der failure
oo common values… of course, when the US condoned torture, and abortion, and made war on people that had done nothing to us, and made it illegal for homeless people to shelter themselves, THIS was OK… but 15% tariffs? over the line, buddy…
As a European, I feel ashamed of this weak decision.
As sad as it is, this “trade deal” should serve as a wakeup call for people, as to how irrelevant Europe has become. US wouldn’t be able to dictate terms, if this was a deal of equals.
it’s primarily a sombre day for french weapons industry and Russian energy companies.
1. What deal? Does anyone truly think that Trump won’t change this deal many times anyway? Something or someone will rub him the wrong way, and he’ll go back to “10000% tariffs for EU!!!”
2. Yes, it’s not great, but until the EU stops being a divided mess, what else could have happened? Countries like France are always saying we should unite more, but what they also always mean by that is that we should do things the way France wants to do them. It’s not like France has the balls to tell Trump to fuck off. They even invited him to their military parade to try to butter up to him…
Just proves you can be an absolute shit of a person but everyone will still do business with you.
