    But didn’t Trump demand 600 billion dollars of investment guarantes from EU as a condition for the new trade deal ?

    But it looks like the opposite is happening, Europe is withdrawing their investments .

  2. I mean their President doesn’t seem to like Europe at all so it makes sense that they wouldn’t invest in a country which doesn’t like them.

    Rightwing shit always brings decline, decay, and degeneracy.

    Don’t tolerate conservatism in your democracy- it is fatal to liberty, equality, and prosperity

    Why would another country invest in an unstable country ?

    Under Trump, the US can’t be viewed as the best place to invest. What is stopping Trump from just seizing foreign factories on US soil.

    Trump wants to ruin the US economy so the USD gets dumped and gold plus his foreign investments skyrocket – then the democrats are in control he buys USD just before they take control.

    Conservatives are horrid when it comes to economic performance. They have a poor grasp of numbers, logic, common sense, reality, honesty, morality, legitimacy, philanthropy, patriotism… well everything frankly. They just look to benefit their own pockets.

    From undisputed global leader to a pariah nation in this short of time is actually impressive

    I’m from Sweden.

    Pulled out all my US assets in the beginning of 2025 and put most of it into European defence. Best investment decision I’ve ever made.

    Dollar also dropped ~19% to my currency in one year so there is that too. Won’t be investing in the US again until the orange buffoon is gone.

  8. The most interesting thing is past administrations had to rely on savvy business and diplomacy to get countries to want to invest in our country. With the current administration, it’s all blackmail.
