EU ON TARIFFS: TRADE WAR OR FAIR DEAL?

While some fifty countries in the world have reacted with reason to President Trump's challenge on tariffs signaling their readiness to negotiate, the school girls running the European Union into the ground, have reacted per usual, with emotion driven retaliations against such vital American goods as bourbon, toilet paper, dental floss, chewing gum, vacuum cleaners and meat, in all worth some 29B dollars. They are voting on April 9 for the package to go into effect per April 15. Not even Canada is that dumb. Little Napoleon is leading the drive to also retaliate against Big Tech in the services industry, a move that will be fiercely resisted by Ireland. It takes no genius to figure out what Trump's answer is going to be: he will hit his friend Emmanuel with massive tariffs on France's wine and luxury goods industries.


April 7, 2025 Alex Christoforou: EU Tariff TATTERS. The Duran: Tariff turbulence and reindustrialization.

Chances are, that some European countries will break ranks with the globalists and go for bilateral agreements like fifty other countries in the world have already done.  


Others are ready to 'go behind the gym' with 'orange man bad' and poke him one in the eye. 


The UK of course is no longer officially part of the EU. It is rumored that Stormer is going to go propose a trade deal as he is hoisting the white flag saying 'globalism failed', but Trump is going to insist that 'shared values' are going to be part of the deal.


Just how irrational and counter productive the emo led policies of the school girls in the EU are, is illustrated by their obsession to keep US bogged down in Europe militarily, yet they are accomplishing the exact opposite in their choice by answering Trump's tariffs with a declaration of war.


The 'President' of the EU meanwhile is speaking from both sides of her mouth. It probably all depends on the vote on April 9. After all, the EU keeps democracy high on its list of 'values'.


Economics is probably not a discipline high on the priorities list of those with journalistic aspirations. That is why the news is high on trade wars and depressed stock markets, but low to absent on falling bond yields, interest rates and oil prices. From President Trump's desk (link):

"Oil prices are down, interest rates are down (the slow moving Fed should cut rates!), food prices are down, there is NO INFLATION, and the long time abused USA is bringing in Billions of Dollars a week from the abusing countries on Tariffs that are already in place. This is despite the fact that the biggest abuser of them all, China, whose markets are crashing, just raised its Tariffs by 34%, on top of its long term ridiculously high Tariffs (Plus!), not acknowledging my warning for abusing countries not to retaliate. They’ve made enough, for decades, taking advantage of the Good OL’ USA! Our past “leaders” are to blame for allowing this, and so much else, to happen to our Country. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!"

Update: 
The EU would be well advised to take President Trump's "nonsense" seriously. Another memo from his desk (link):

"Yesterday, China issued Retaliatory Tariffs of 34%, on top of their already record setting Tariffs, Non-Monetary Tariffs, Illegal Subsidization of companies, and massive long term Currency Manipulation, despite my warning that any country that Retaliates against the U.S. by issuing additional Tariffs, above and beyond their already existing long term Tariff abuse of our Nation, will be immediately met with new and substantially higher Tariffs, over and above those initially set. Therefore, if China does not withdraw its 34% increase above their already long term trading abuses by tomorrow, April 8th, 2025, the United States will impose ADDITIONAL Tariffs on China of 50%, effective April 9th. Additionally, all talks with China concerning their requested meetings with us will be terminated! Negotiations with other countries, which have also requested meetings, will begin taking place immediately. Thank you for your attention to this matter!"
