Get a backbone ; stop appeasing and let him know sternly what the course of action is and its consequences .

This is the only language Trump and his merry men understand . It’ll cause more ructions in America than it will in Europe or globally , if they fail to heed the warnings .

Stop using soft rhetoric ; fight fire with fire .

Quoting Schultz
I was surprised how readily she agreed to the initial US-EU trade "deal" in July. As usual with Trump, though, there was coercion.
I thought EU would be the third, after China and Canada, to fight back against Trump's tariffs. It surprised me that EU quickly and easily accepted 15% tariff for EU and no tariff for US. Trump might think wow, EU is so weak.

Europe should adopt a winning strategy: listen for Leyen and do the opposite.
