tariffs on eu would hurt us businesses more than the eu
- Give him a break, he doesn't know that a tariff is.
Let's just wait for a president to say this, before we tell him to fuck off, again.
Does the EU even export all that much to the US?
- About $50 billion a month https://www.census.gov/foreign-trade/balance/c0003.html
Does EU still get most of its oil from Russia? Maybe money going to US is actually better?
- No, barely anything from Russia … directly. Money going to the US is better than to Russia, but even better would be to be free from needing fossil fuels at all.
