This is what happens when a guy who was, according to his professor "the dumbest goddamn student I ever had" is made president.
He keeps trying to shove the triangle into the square hole while exclaiming, "it's a perfect fit".
Tariffs alone will never bring back manufacturing to the US. Those jobs are gone thanks to globalism, and why would you need them back when you could instead invest in a more service-oriented economy and with more highly specialised (and valuable) tertiary industry jobs. All tariffs do in this situation is tax everyone and drive inflation rapidly - both at a time when people are at historically high levels of personal debt.

Yes he's dumb, but on the topic of tariffs he knows it will not bring blue collar jobs back to the US_, look at his own merch or the phone he is selling, all made in China. Secondly, he didn't write Project 2025, there are smarter people than Trump pulling the strings, there is ulterior motive to push for these tariffs. I personally don't really know what, other than wrecking the economy or maybe purposefully devaluating the dollar.

That's right! Tariffs go into... The square hole!

With this show of cowardice and spinelessness the project European Union is dead to me.

The EU is not perfect but it's the best option we have

Don't be so dramatic.

It looks to me like they're trying to make the best out of a bad situation. There's more tariff now on EU goods, but it may keep the US involved in Ukraine while the concessions made on the EU side aren't massive in the grand scheme of things.
At the same time this deal says to everyone who's looking "We try, despite our differences", which makes it rather difficult to paint the EU as the bad guy if he reconsiders.
At the end of the day what the EU wants to be internationally is a reliable partner. That's what trust is built on.

I feel bad for anyone who has ever had to attend a meeting with trump and Von Der Layen is no different. It tops my list of most embarrassing things you could have to deal with in your lifetime as thistle point.

Trump: "Hey Europe, how about this: I'll kick you in the nuts and you get to smile and do nothing in return. How does that sound?" EU:

Trump thinks he made a good deal: we managed to increased all prices by 15%. Everybody needs to pay more. Lets celebrate....
If it was so good with 15%. Just think about if he did the same with the taxes. But for taxes he instead want to lower them...

Because the tariff is (mostly) a tax on the poor, it's consumers that end up footing the bill. Higher taxes impact the rich more, can't have that.

Tariffs are not merely an internal issue though. Sure they hurt the consumers the most, but they still are a damage of the people trying to sell the items too. Those tariffs do result in people buying less that's why they exist in the first place.
The USA has never really cared about consumers being able to buy things. If they did they’d make sure to pay them enough to pay for things but they’ll cause recession after recession and then bitch about people, who they told not to drink lattes to save money, not buying their useless garbage.

Ha! You Europoors are just mad you can't afford to pay more money for everything! Once again, Trump totally owned you! God Bless America!
Look at your inflation. It doensn't mean that the US won. It means our countries will fail together.
No, it only sucks for the vast majority of them. If you produce locally, from local materials, you're golden! I mean, its 2025 and nobody does that anymore. But there might be a few of them left.

The dipshit imposing tariffs doesn't understand tariffs so yeah, it very much sucks for us.
It will impact Americans the most by far. The US is literally shooting itself in the foot.
