The EU is doing something infinitely better than placing tariffs on random goods, a strategy already used when that orange turd was US president the last time. They are very specifically targeting products of US states that voted for him and his party where the impact on the EU economy is minimal.
No surprise he is foaming at the mouth over that, I guess those in his inner circle who do have more brains than him (Is it true that all orange presidents have to share the single brain cell with all the orange cats, by the way?) did already complain about the bad EU ruining their business.
I didn’t know we do that. Only heard that Canada does it. I’m curious how this will affect groceries. Couldn’t think of much, because Europe is pretty self-sustaining with 95% of goods.
We have a protein crop shortfall, most of it goes to animal fodder and is South American soy, the rest is Canadian lentils.
But yes impact in Europe will be minimal, both when it comes to our tariffs because minimising impact is built into them and, apparently, also when it comes to theirs, because Trump doesn’t give a fuck about applying tariffs strategically. The rest of the world will be more than happy to buy our alcohol, maybe at slightly lower prices but it’s not like it’s hard to sell.
The EU should increase the tariff on bourbon to 800%, would be funny.
Let’s do super random goods. Like 1000% on marshmallows or something.

That’s insulting to Garfield. :D
Well Bourbon is a pretty red state product
