Well, you will not be surprised to find out that the Tangerine Tyrant has threatened the EU with constraints on supplies of Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) from the USA (now that global supply is constricted by the US/Israeli attack(s) on Iran), if they fail to pass the delayed EU/US trade deal without amendments.

So having delayed the ratification with his threats to Greenland, Trump is now using his disruption of LNG markets to drive his trade agenda.

Once a bully...

Build solar and wind like tanks and ships for war.

Its wonderful and horrific for Oil Billionaire conspirators to expose themselves so usefully.

Build solar and wind like tanks and ships for war.

Oil is forest fires and war.
Solar is cheap.

@ChrisMayLA6 they can't do this, there is not enough storage to hold that gas. They either need to export it or kill the well. This is another taco in the making. The tangerine tyrant is an idiot.

@ChrisMayLA6 I think it’s time we do the same thing to USA as we did to Russia when they started doing war crimes in Ukraine in mass.

(I mean, we let them do it since 2014, huge mistake!)

Cut all diplomatic ties. Implement sanctions. Letting bully states get away with war crimes and violating international law never did a damn good thing ever.

And we have ample evidence that acceding to Trump's demands is rewarded with more demands.

It reads as more of a trade tantrum than a trade agenda. Pedo Trump just makes it up as he goes.

@ChrisMayLA6 They could respond by theatening to cut off imports the US depends on and/or embargoing US trade entirely.

Crashing the US economy would make oil and gas cheaper in the rest of the world by suppressing a major source of demand

I'm not sure there are enough strategic trade sectors where the US imports mostly from the EU to make than an effective threat?

How many children is he threatening to put out in the cold. He wants no friends except Putin. Hey world it's time to go cold turkey and cut off the USA . Canada needs to find a way to sell to Europe before the year is out. BABA ( BUY ANYTHING BUT AMERICAN)
