Any EU negotiator *really* surprised by the new threat of 50% tariffs on EU imports to the US, unless they agree to Trump's demands really hasn't being paying attention....

This is an administration led by a bully & needs to be dealt with on that basis; sure, find ways to placate him in the short run, but the best long term bet is to neuter his influence;

marginalisation of the US market (already a strategic aim for China) looks like the best policy for the EU too

100%. Sad to say, but America needs to be treated like the pariah state it now is. Cut all ties and slash trade.

"America First" is a hostile, bullying philosophy. You can not deal fairly with it, without constantly compromising key principles. That's why only corrupt authoritarians are doing it.

If the reporting of US businesses bailing out is genuine & not scaremongering maybe we can sit back & enjoy Mr Orange’s self destruction.
