(LIVE BLOG) US-EU TRADE DEBACLE MAY NOT BECOME REALITY
On Sunday at Trump Turnberry Golf Course in Scotland, the US and the EU signed a historical trade deal. It was historical in various senses of the word. President Trump negotiated the deal on behalf of the people of the United States of America according to his principle, America First. On the side of the EU the agreement was negotiated by EU President Ursula von der Leyen on behalf of.. fairness.
Update: Alex calls to mind the disastrous EU trade trip to China last week, which went so badly, the EU delegation left after a day. Russia of course is out of the questions as a partner. So the European czars painted themselves in a corner without leverage in the negotiations with Trump.
The justifications why they had to agree to this deal are illustrating how feeble and out their depths these people are. American gas is "better" and more "affordable" than Russian gas, Ursula gasped.
But at least "uncertainty is over" and an "all out trade war has been averted". And even more important is the "safeguarding of the Atlantic unity" and "Europe's energy security by ridding it of dependence on Russian gas".
And the dog ate their homework.
Reaction from Viktor Orban makes clear that the agreement is so unrealistic that it may never be implemented. Trump knows this of course. He usually thinks two or three steps ahead. If they default, he has them even more over a barrel.

"There is an agreement to transfer hundreds of billions of euros of capital from Europe to America.
But from where? The committee has no capital.

In the meantime the EU is taking out a loan to buy US weapons for rogue state Ukraine and is booting Israel from its Horizon research and innovations program. And Turkey is upgraded as it continues its occupation of a third of the island of Cyprus.
The EU's march towards the abyss continues unabated.
You can see from the face of highly experienced bureaucrat like Sabine Weyand (Director-General for Trade) how good the EU-US deal really is.

By the way, at least 50% of the EU Commission delegation is German. This overrepresentation is staggering given that there are 27 members. pic.twitter.com/7DVAq34df2

US AND EU SIGN 'HISTORICAL' TRADE DEAL
HOWARD LUTNICK: “The tariff revenues are amazing — $700 BILLION a year. That's just net new money the government never had before. You take that for ten years, that's $7 TRILLION.”This is HUGE! 🔥🔥— Proud Elephant 🇺🇸🦅 (@ProudElephantUS) July 27, 2025
July 28, 2025 The Duran: US-EU Trade Deal. Trump gets everything, Ursula gets nothing.
Alexander Merkouris brings to mind that one of the main reasons of existence of the EU is the argument that it will be able to negotiate better deals as a union, than individual states alone.That myth is now dead.
The parliaments in the member states may yet put up a rebellion, but don't count on it. Mentally they are in the same place. Or it will advance the break up the pseudo empire following its economic collapse.
🔥President Trump goes off on using windmills for energy:"We won’t allow a windmill to be built in the United States. They're killing us. They're killing the beauty of our scenery... The most expensive form of energy. They're made in China."— Benny Johnson (@bennyjohnson) July 27, 2025
I love Trump only for this!Ursula (the war witch) is being publicly called out by Trump for criticizing him and supporting the war in Ukraine, while pretending that the embarrassment doesn’t bother her. pic.twitter.com/nHHKB9W0vS— Russian Market (@runews) July 27, 2025
Absolute FIRE.
