How is this for anyone okay? I’m feeling drained as an European.
>The 3 1/2-page text represents a political commitment and is not legally binding. It contrasts with the typical format for trade agreements, which can be hundreds of pages long and carry legal force.
The only important part of this announcement.
This is just more kicking the can down the road, while the tariffs continue to erode the US economy.
The US Fed meeting is under way in Jackson Hole and the expectation is that any chance of rates cuts is dimming rapidly due to the impact of tariffs on the US. Evidence is also starting to come up that companies are *not* absorbing the tariffs, and are simply passing them on to the consumer.
Now, I predict a wave of completely genuine posts proclaiming that they’re a proud (German|Frenchman|Swede) and utterly disgusted with the EU for giving in.
This is not legally binding, this is just humoring Trump’s fragile ego lol
Why did the EU sign such a bad deal?
The EU game for now is to make empty promises to Trump that are not binding.
The core of the deal is „import flexibility on fossil fuels“. Again, the US strategy is not tariffs, but energy dominance.
Are you fucking kidding me? I really hope that my country kicks up a stink on this and that France blocks this deal since they’re the only ones in the EU with some sense in their mind.
Thank you Ursula.
Fucking disaster.
Question, and I don’t want to presume the answer, does the countries have to ratify this deal?
They better not say the US can sell their crappy unhealty foods in the EU
mmmm chlorinated chicken!, om nom nom!
This is a joke. Europe is under attack from both East and West. The silver lining is that no matter the deal we can count on EU legislators taking their time passing new regulations.
In the meantime, I’m not buying anything from US companies.
All this work to be boycotted by EU consumers.
Don’t buy our shit, fam
No just no, fuck em
As a European I’m happy that we have quite some aggressive ruling when it comes to foodstuff so they can’t force terrible tasting chocolate, toxic apples, or diarrhea inducing gummy bears down our throats.
If US wants to import how about upping your standards instead of the other way around…
Make America Go Away
The European should avoid to buy American products, where possible.
Why would we even want to buy US products? They make crappy stuff compared to us.
Why on Earth are they agreeing to something as one-sided as this?
Fuck!
Shits happen!
I’m not going to buy american anymore if I can choose. I already reduced my purchases of books from Amazon, buying more from local stores, stopped eating in McD or BK and so on. I know I’m lucky because I’m not living paycheck to paycheck, many don’t have choice but lowest price, those who can should stop to buy american, they don’t deserve it, I feel betrayed for the very last time.
What these MAGA idiots fail to take into account is that a lot of Europeans will deliberately avoid buying American goods as a result of this bullying.
Fine. Make your shitty Chevrolets available here, and watch them rust in the dealership carpark.
Take your american junk and shove it where the sun don’t shine
The commission has to go….
No no no no no!
I was ashamed at the ass-kissing and bowing (even if it should be indeed just 4D-Chess), but I draw the line at lowering our high standards for american crap, especially their „food“.
Edit: Yes again the EU can’t force its members to support this, but even the signal is in my view a desaster
No! Fucking dont do that.
Puñeteros políticos incompetentes. Si lo que cuesta para que nos desconectemos de la metrópolis que es USA, es que los vinos se mueran. PUES QUE SE MUERAN.
INDEPENDENCIA EUROPEA YA.
Remember that EU was supposed to make Europe stronger, we’re all sinking together lol
I am starting to think we should just have that trade war instead of seemingly bending the knee all the time… but I imagine its not as clear as it appears to be… and certainly not as much a victory for the US as that half-wit Lutnick tries to make it sound like.
Aside from that, I am not worried about the ‚opening of the markets‘ part… because simpletons like Lutnick and Trump appear to think if they can just put any American product in a European shop, then there will be someone who buys it… and that is just not going to happen if it is a piece of shit compared to what Europeans can already get.
So, US pays more for 2/3rds of stuff produced here and in exchange we have to accept shitty lowquality food? Yikers.
EU legislation generally takes longer to pass than a presidential term.
Me, as an European I’m not buying too many American products. I’m trying to shop local and support local businesses
It’s crazy that the king of the West (lets fucking face it sadly) is so mental we are all bending over to keep him sweet.
In fairness, the EU could have avoided all this with a gold statue of him with a 6 pack outside the Brussels train station. He’d have loved that.
