  • EU says it still wants US trade deal, will defend interests

    From finance.yahoo.com

    The EU is ready to retaliate to safeguard its interests if the U.S. proceeds with imposing a threatened 30% tariff on European goods starting on August 1, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said on Saturday.

Three times Trump messed with wrong opponents:
1. Canada.
2. Europe.
3. China.

The real problem is that MAGA is chanting: "America First" when they go in for negotiations ignoring the fact that the other nations will defend their own interests too.

However, Europe has been burdening American exports by 30% for decades, but if Trump wants to equalize the terms, he is the wrong one. Remember that Europe is ruled by gynecologists. And gynecologists can only rule pussies.

Mate, you can never promote your view by insulting people. The only thing you will achieve is retaliation and equally harsh response. This is not why we are here. Take my advice please! You will be much better off. Okay?!

{quote} Existing tariffs are within 5% (on both sides), There might be 30% tariff on some type of goods, but I don't know about it. Maybe you are talking about VAT which is equivalent to sales tax in US and it is paid on all goods, no matter of origin.
wrong son, one big wrong, we Europeans also have to pay 20% VAT and above for everything we buy in the USA, you know, customs duties, taxes, fees, everything is one big tax and now in Europe it is at least 30% and more on American goods. It is clear that you are not very well informed about this

{quote} Looks like you as as stupid as the orange jesus. Sales tax is applied to every product regardless of the origin so it has nothing to do with trade between EU and USA.
We in Europe pay 30% more for all American goods because of taxes and duties, and we've been paying it for decades because we allowed gynecologists to rule us. Trump is a golden man compared to gynecologists.

Is this happening only with American products or are we also paying sales tax on Chinese products, German products and products from any country?

Why would they do this with tariffs? Who pays the tariffs? Why are these foreign countries screwing over their citizens? This isn't going to protect their industries, it's just a tax on their citizens, lol, how stupid are the voters in these foreign countries? These liberal voters in foreign countries are cheering for tariffs, lol, all to defend their own interests.
