Trump threatens European Union

[Eloy]

The president of the European Union Council, Donald Tusk, warned the heads of governments from all the European Union (EU) states (except England) that newly elected U.S. President Trump represents a danger to the EU because he encouraged Britain to leave the union while encouraging other states of the EU to also leave.
It is reported on the front page of THE TIMES today that President Tusk sees a danger in the nationalism which is sweeping the world with Donald Trump's slogan of America First, England wanting out of the EU and political parties in France, Austria, Hungary, Poland, and the Netherlands, sounding racist.

President Tusk says that individual countries outside of the EU will find themselves subject to exploitation by the three powers of the USA, Russia, and China. Now, more than ever, European states of the Union need to keep focused on the European ideal of an ever closer political union so that the EU will hold its own against the Americans, the Russians, and the Chinese.

I believe President Tusk is right and it is sad to see the United States being perceived as a malevolent influence over Europe when we were so close after World War II but the corollary to America First, NATO being obsolete, and the breakup of the EU are all messages from Donald Trump. So long, it's been good to know you.

What I think is sad is having a political situation where unelected individuals are dictating policy.

.....But then again, I appreciate the diversity of European culture and wish for France to continue to be France, Britain, Britain and Germany, Germany instead of devolving into yet more Islamic hell holes.

You should try telling that to the thousands of British children who have been gang raped by Muslim men who call them "easy meat".

The far right is more of a danger to Europe

I agree with you about the danger of the far right to Europe. We remember when they fascists held a grip over the continent during the last century and how it led to internecine deaths and horrors. The European Union was established to ensure that this does not happen again and it is working. No more are European Union countries solving differences with wars but instead debate in a parliament how best to cooperate for the common good. Nationalism which threatens a breakup from within would be a catastrophe.

The European Union: A Failed Experiment

Bill Lee's opinion is worthless because he sees the European Union as an experiment and a project. It is not. What the EU is is a collection of treaties between sovereign states to have a single market without tariffs but a free market with a single currency and a goal for ever closer political union which is held together by a respect for all the nations with many different languages. With a stroke of the pen members agree to cooperate rather than individual nationalism that would tear us apart as happened in the last century.

The fact remains it was failed prior to Trump so as usual your are just slinging shit hoping it will stick with some idiots.

The European Union has not failed but has added members to the original 6 bringing the number today to 28.
Donald Trump is a protectionist who will harm the ability of the United States to trade in a free market. He is also very ignorant about how economics works. For example, he wants all the pharmaceutical companies which have headquarters in the USA to close down all their research in European universities and to withdraw all their production from the European Union's single market of 28 states. This makes no sense because the companies will not even have the ability to avoid tariffs by producing within the single market. This is not how free trade works. American companies should continue to research and develop drugs both in the USA and the European Union and to manufacture in both domestic and foreign markets. But Donald Trump's plan is to restrict them to one American market facing a tariff wall with the European Union and more expensive drugs imported from the EU. The man has no clue.

American companies will have to follow the rules set forth via the American peoples representatives. If you do not like that tough shit.

Look, I have been respectful of you and I have overlooked your foul mouth as I explained the issues but I will not continue to debate with you unless you offer the same respect to me.
As to the rules by American politicians, there is only one man I know of that wants to regulate American companies by punishing them for manufacturing both in the USA and abroad. That man is Donald Trump. What surprises me is that the Congressional Republicans who have been in favor of light regulation of the market place are saying nothing about Donald Trump threatening successful American companies unless they get out of manufacturing and researching abroad as well as at home. Republicans all of a sudden are in favor of punitive regulations by Donald Trump???

Of "shit" insults your sensitivity you are probably not worth taking the time to converse with.

General Electric and others closing factories here and insisting on long time employees training employees in other countries has to stop. As far as the pharm industry goes they are out of control on all levels so personally I could care less what misery they go through at this point.

As far as the European Union problems go that is your problem not ours. I do not expect our president to bow to your desires over what is in the best interest and the will of the people that voted him into office. Your Euro companies even if they originally based out of this country will have to follow the rules that are created in trade agreements that are approved by the people of this country or find someone else to trade with.

That would explain why americans are fouling themselves over this; we don't bother with honoring our own treaties.

 

[montelatici]

Let me get this straight. 14 million Muslims live within the E.U. EEA states and Switzerland , the EU, EEA and Switzerland have a population of more than 560 million. When the UK leaves the EU, they will take their 5 million Muslims with them so the population of the EU, EEA and Switzerland will go down to 500 million and Muslims will go down to 9 million in a population of 500 million Christians. It's a tiny minority.

I think people are either not very informed or are idiots.
