  1. The hatred of the anti globalist American President Trump is on full display….when Europe imposed tariffs on Chinese EVs where was the uproar…where was it for Russia when it did the same…where is the elbows up when Canada historically and consistently charges high tariffs on American products…the globalists, the leftists, progressives can't stand for a sovereign and independent nation like the U.S.A. to stand up for itself…American Stong /American Pride!

  2. i wonde rwhen they start blaming us for not buying enough weapons from them after they made it impossible for us to buy them….

  3. everyone agrees that Ireland has been playing fast and lose with Tax rules to undercut the EU and US to get companies to be based in Ireland

  4. What did trump expect? Countries will of course reciprocate with any tariffs imposed. Bullying tactics are trumps way of dealing with everything.

  5. I think the main reason for all tariffs towards EU is communication. Donald won’t understand a single word what these EU leaders are saying.
