“I’m not looking for a deal - we’ve set the deal,” he told reporters later, before immediately adding that a big investment in the US by a European company might make him open to a delay.

The CDU have been atlanticist since 1949. They currently do have a hangover (how can you not, given Trump) but instead of sobering up rather go for hair of the dog.
but instead of sobering up rather go for hair of the dog.
that’s an interesting idiom, never heard that one before.

Oh yes, that’s how deals are made. A good show is part of it, and that’s what he’s doing.
You get a deal when both parties agree,
