Europe knows it has been ripping off American citizens for years, racking up massive trade deficits. Europe also knows it has been freeloading on the American national security umbrella for decades.
Yet, this morning, Europe chooses to bad mouth the United States and the Trump administration for the President's insistence that the dishonest relationship between the continents end, with the announcement of a global tariff regime by Washington.
Globalists leaders in Europe, fat and happy from decades of grifting off America, are not happy this morning.
Their reactions are below:
Spain’s PM Sanchez declared Europe was already being attacked from the East by Russia, now faces trade attacks from the West. The U.S. return to 19th-century protectionism is not an intelligent move.
German Economy Minister Robert Habeck said, "Donald Trump will buckle under pressure from Germany and Europe in an escalating trade war."
German Chancellor Scholz declared, "Even if we did nothing in response, the tariffs will cause problems for the U.S. economy. It would be a serious economic error."
The Austrian Economic Minister declared, "To force Trump to the negotiating table, we need to impose tariffs that hit Republican states and his friends including tech firms."
French PM Bayrou said on Trump tariffs, "This marks a catastrophe for the world economy."
Italy's PM Meloni has cancelled all engagements for the day to focus on actions to take in response to US tariffs.
Spain will implement a 14.1 billion euro plan to cushion the impact of the new U.S. tariffs on the Spanish economy.
The European Union's trade commissioner Maros Sefcovic will talk to his U.S. counterparts tomorrow, as Brussels searches for an effective way to lessen the impact of the Trump tariffs on the European economy.
EU member states will vote on April 9 on countermeasures to the United States' steel and aluminum tariffs, reported Reuters.
German Chancellor Scholz declared, "Even if we did nothing in response, the tariffs will cause problems for the U.S. economy. It would be a serious economic error."
Ok, please explain the problems for the US…oh, you can’t?!🤔🤪
Looking like we may be getting Russia in trade with Europe going to China side. Several Eastern Europe countries will join with Russia and US while Western Europe is moving to China side. Good luck and great trade.
