The E.U targetted Trump voting states specifically to try to hurt him and his party politically so they did this to themselves. Not surprising, since the thick Brits sent politicians over during the 2024 campaign to knock on doors for Harris. Yet, they talk about "foreign election interference".
The E.U have been security and economic freeloaders for decades, applying massive VAT, tariffs and barriers to trade with the U.S and Canada. Their leaders eat their caviar with multiple exciting conferences and meetings, they spend money on climate change boondoggles that hurt everyone except China among other boutique virtue signaling actions at their backs of their own economy. Well, let's see if their exotic wine is worth the price.
They wag their moral finger and pretend they are part of the "cooaltion of the willing" and respond with alacrity, but once the hoopla and cameras disappear, so do their promises.
Back in the day high tariffs against Europe were common. Let's see if they become common again.
