      The US is demanding the EU water down parts of its green legislation just months after agreeing a tariff pact to avoid an all-out transatlantic trade war.

      According to a US government position paper seen by the Financial Times, Washington has asked Brussels to scrap requirements for non-EU companies to provide ‚climate transition plans‘.

      It has also demanded that the bloc change environmental legislation on supply chains to exclude US companies and others from ‚countries with high-quality corporate due diligence‘.

      The move is part of a wider bid by Washington to push countries, financial institutions and businesses to roll back their climate change policies, using international forums ranging from the World Bank to stock market regulators.

      So It appears accepting the US demands didn’t stop the US from making more demands. Who could have seen this coming?

      Of course. They want the world to be desperate for the petrodollar and sell their oil. Let’s destroy the world so a few people can stay rich

      No way in hell this wont be vetoed.

      The fact that food safety standards protect us from US style vulture capitalism practices with food are the one thing most Europeans agree on.

      To hell with this. Don’t let this asshole doom the planet for his ego

    6. This is why when Trump decided to destabilise the world economy with his „Liberation Day“ tariffs the whole world should have collectively said:

      „Oh, reciprocal you say? Fair enough, we will impose an identical tariff on US exports – good day“

      No negotiations, no divide and conquer. Trump should just get the middle finger from everyone.

    7. Chaos and instability seems to be the goal of the US, so the rich and corrupt can profit

      The EU should do an India – Ignore and seek alternative markets. Last time it was trump trying to force antiDEI or else… that went nowhere. 

    9. So one day you strike a deal, and the next, there’s more demands. The Trump administration has the attention span of a toddler.

      Time to play hardball and strengthen ties with the rest of the world. The US is a lost cause and will slide into dictatorship or civil war soon anyways.

      The United Nations should sanction the US for its environmentally despicable policies, not the other way around.

      We’re thrashing the planet and ruining our children’s future to make business with a fraudster and a manipulator.

      This is beyond absurd. Humanity wake up before it’s really too late!

    11. While ractopamine is almost prohibited everywhere on Eurasia continent, nor EU, China or Russia allows using such substances in animal husbandry, US doesn’t prohibit that.

      Until they pass any regulations to bansuch usage nationwide, I won’t have any US meat product in my shopping list.

      Can we demand US to shut the fuck up? Yes? No? Please? I am tired of reading and hearing their bullshit, it’s not funny anymore.

    13. Tell Humpty Trumpty to kindly fuck off. The more EU gives in to him, the more he will demand.

    14. Demanded? by the weakest administration in US history? Yeah, no. They’ll be out soon replaced by some more reasonable people next term.

    15. Guys I understand that our price are higher due to this green regulation but please I don’t want lower price in exchange for bleached chickens.

      The EU should break most diplomatic ties with the US until it elects a government that’s willing to engage in diplomacy instead of trying to take over political leadership of the EU. Trump sells the EU trying to have its own laws as an attack on US sovereignty and much worse, why aren’t we calling what the US is doing an attack on EU sovereignty and conduct dealings with them from there, treating them as the adversary Trump made that government be? At least that would be true. This idea that the US can do whatever they want because if you stop working with them, they just roll over you and won’t even feel it is asinine. Short-term inconvenience and recession is always preferable to long-term oppression, and the US is hardly as independent as they want to think they are.

      Appeasement leads to more demands. Always has and always will. What happening here? More demands. You fight a bully. It’s the only way.

    18. We should hear them out if they ask, but if they demand we should tell them to fuck off.

    19. Zargess2994 on

      Let me think about it………… No. Trump can take his idiotic deal and shove it where the sun doesn’t shine.

      Why do countries give in to bullies? Did the leaders not go to school? If you give in to a bully, they just push for more.

      I learned this in 3rd grade
