Summary
Donald Trump has demanded the European Union reduce its $131.3 billion U.S. trade deficit by purchasing more American oil and gas or face tariffs.
Trump’s comments, posted on Truth Social, come as the EU works to phase out Russian energy imports and diversify suppliers.
EU officials, while open to U.S. energy imports, criticized Trump’s approach as transactional, warning of potential retaliation.
Analysts highlight risks of tariffs to inflation and global trade. The EU plans to engage pragmatically but has prepared for heightened U.S. protectionism under Trump’s leadership.
Yup, 100%. Same goes for anyone who threw their vote away on a third party candidate.
They’re just as delusional as Trumpers, as they obviously will do anything they can to avoid admitting to themselves that they fucked up and taking responsibility for their actions.
Did you take responsibility for voting to the same two failure of parties before trump was even in politics?
I’ve been begging for RCV since about 2000 when W “won.”
