European Union lawmakers are poised to block approval of the EU’s trade deal with the US over President Donald Trump’s vow to impose tariffs on countries that supported Greenland in the face of American threats.
Manfred Weber, president of the European People’s Party, the largest political group in the European Parliament, said on Saturday that agreement with the US is no longer possible.
Yes please. This deal was terrible in the first place. Never give an inch to Trump. Make him lose face on the global stage so his strongman politics just appears weak. If he losses all domestic support this entire nightmare goes away,

Wait for Trump to throw toys out of pram about how dishonest the EU are, a deal is a deal, bad faith, absolutely disgusting and is an attack on the US, more tarriffs!!!!!!
Basically just another day of Trump confessing his sins through projection onto everyone else but him.

This was bound to happen what did Trump think would happen?
At First Trump announces reciprocal tarrifs Then as a condition for a new trade deal negotiates billions of investment guarantees from Europe
Then makes the Nato countries increase the defence spending to 5% of GDP for their protection
Then plans to invade territory of a NATO country .
And now threatens to impose tarrifs if they don’t accept their actions in Greenland.
This is beyond crazy.

Yeah, don’t trust any deal with Trump. We Chinese learned that lesson in 2018. We negotiated a trade deal, he agreed, went back to the US, and 11 days later just ripped it up. So much for ‘dealmaker.’

If that deal included chlorine chicken. Then nobody wanted it anyway. Keep your toxic foods.

This is actually a legal requirement, not even retaliation. EU is a trading block, and countries cannot face individual tariffs. The trade deal has to be off as the whole block faces the ‘new’ tariff.

f*** it, just cut the US off, do what Canada’s doing, stop entertaining him, stop taking his calls, ignore him and let him deal with the domestic problems he has instead of letting him dictate the conversation internationally.

Even ignoring the fact that it’s a poor deal for Europe, if an EU member says no to the US annexing a territory of their nation, and the US is trying to use that as a cause for tariffsto break it, then the trade deal has absolutely no purpose to begin with.
This is clearly an attempt to use economic force to annex a part of a nation that is supposed to be a close ally; any such action needs to be met with equal force and hostility. This is simply unacceptable and not how you treat allies.

To think that Trump could have just coasted on the economic growth and infrastructure investments initiated by Biden. Well, the idiot can’t help himself.

As a Canadian I have never been so close to just getting rid of every media and news app Reddit included because I’m so sick of hearing about whatever dumb shit Americans are threatening this week.

Just tell him to go fuck himself.
Yes, the usa are a big market, but smaller than India and South America, both of which the EU now have or are completing trade deals with. The usa are replaceable!
No, the usa are no longer attractive markets. Some states are fairly enlightened and adhere to international laws and standards, but overall the union is falling apart and is no longer a reliable trade partner; most of the world is now more reliable / stable and therefore more suited as trade partners. We want stability, not fickleness.
Yes, I did use the plural form for the usa on purpose. The usa are no longer united and should be treated as individual states. The EU should not treat all us states as equal and should instead treat them individually, much like Denmark did when signing the 2025 MOU with California regarding green economy resilience, technology, and innovation (I am Danish and therefore somewhat tainted 😅 (haven’t lived in Denmark for a while though, ask me questions if relevant)).
Those were my two (€) cents.

As an American I hope Europe stands strong against Trump because most Americans don’t want to take Greenland from Denmark and we wake up every day feeling more embarrassed about the state of our country.
