  1. “Firm but proportionate” if you read the subheading.

    A few lines later Simon is quoted as saying “a trade war is in no one’s interest” and “there’s always time to strike a deal”.

    Making a wager here: if the EU retaliates like China did, another country will leave the union within 5 years.

  2. No point in trying to negotiate with a narcissistic man-child that has no semblance of business acumen. Better to seek deals elsewhere and isolate the US where possible.

  3. Canada needs to get with the fucking program and drop their restrictions on our dairy. Canadians go across the border to the US to buy Kerrygold because it can’t be sold in Canada and their own butter is utter shit.

  4. I fear the EU has already decided to focus their response on hitting the US Tech industry with massive reprisal tariffs. That way they get to settle two scores in one. The US tariffs and the Irish corporate tax model. You can be sure they will minimise any hits to the German or French economies.

  5. Don’t buy American shit, boycott mcdonalds and other US chains

  6. The one thing that the Buy EU movement has made me realize is that there are a huge amount of consumer goods from the EU that we don’t import. I walked into Eurospar, a European supermarket, the other day and 95% of the chocolate, crisps, and drinks were owned by US companies. We’re meant to be a free market, but US companies rigged the whole thing by making sure the majority of our choices are US ones. It really is time for a change.
