Hela helgen väntar man på måndag för att Trump ska säga något helt verklighetsfrånvänt bullshit som får upp #BigBazooka på bordet igen… men de har väl fullt upp med inbördeskrig i Minnesota eller nått.

What is the EU's anti-coercion instrument, and how does it work?
The ACI allows the EU to shut off access to the European single market representing 500 million consumers. It limits trade licenses and access to public procurement tenders. For American services, it means the European market would be off the table.
Calls grow for the EU to deploy its ultimate trade bazooka as Trump threatens fresh tariffs to force the sale of Greenland. The anti-coecion instrument would shut off access to the European single market, punishing US companies. It is powerful on paper, but untested in real life. #EuropeNews
