@dalfen Given that this makes the #USA more unpredictable than "P.R." #China, #NorthKorea and #Russia, I'd simply refuse to trade at all with the #US if not #Embargo the USA entirely.
- Because only #Boycott, #Divestment and #Sanctions will work as the last peaceful option against #Trumpism right now…
- Cuz #Trump already abuses Sanctions against the #ICC to shield #WarCriminals from #Investigation|s and both #blackmail & extort #judges & #prosecutors!

'The ruling is a relief for working families that Donald Trump has turned his back on, and it sends a message to this President that he is not king.'

Miguel Afonso Caetano"US manufacturing ended 2025 with a thud, capping a rough year for the sector. To recap, manufacturers shed 63,000 jobs, according to the latest data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. It wasn’t just labor that was hurting. The Institute for Supply Management’s manufacturing index clocked in at 47.9 for December, marking the 10th consecutive month of contraction as new orders were especially weak and costs at historically elevated levels.
Then there’s the Federal Reserve's Beige Book of regional economic conditions and surveys from the regional Fed banks, which have repeatedly documented cases of manufacturers delaying hiring and investment amid weak market conditions, rising costs, shrinking profit margins and persistent uncertainty. As for the “hard” data, manufacturing capacity and output, while incomplete, sagged through the Fall.
Overall, the evidence reveals a sector that’s stagnant at best, and a long way from the manufacturing renaissance President Donald Trump promised when he took office for a second time a year ago. No wonder administration officials have pivoted from predicting a factory boom in 2025 to now saying it will happen in 2026 and beyond."

Also the @EUCommission needs to #ban #PriceGouging as in forcing #EU #consumers to pay #TrumpTariffs #pricing in #Euro at 1:1 exchange of #USD -before #taxes- despite said #tariffs not applying *and the #Euro being way more valuable than the #USD even if we calculate with 34% VAT!*
- anything else is #cowardice, #collusion and #corruptuion across the #EU at this point!
