    Every nation needs to say “fuck the U.S.” and just open new trade deals between each other.

    “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.

    That’s not how deals work Drumpf. You get a deal when both parties agree, before that it’s a bid/a suggestion for negotiation.

    Reacting to Trump’s threats, European governments warned that higher tariffs would be damaging to both sides.

    “We do not need to go down this road,” said Ireland’s Taoiseach (Prime Minister) Micheál Martin. “Negotiations are the best and only sustainable way forward.”

    Nicely said

    France’s Foreign Minister Laurent Saint-Martin, said: “We are maintaining the same line: de-escalation, but we are ready to respond.”

    I love ministers having a spine

    German Economy Minister Katherina Reiche said the bloc “must do everything” to reach a solution with the US.

    And look who’s a little bitch… I quite dislike the CDU who tries so hard to be little buddies with the USA, started with Merkel afair.

    While Dutch Prime Minister Dick Schoof told reporters that he backed the EU’s strategy in trade talks and “we have seen before that tariffs can go up and down in talks with the US”.

    Indeed thats how you get to a deal, not by demands but by negotiations and talks.

      CDU are spineless losers. Merz has no experience in managing anything and his cabinet is made of millionaires. Go figure.

      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.

      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,

      He knows that.
