Sounds like a great way to turn trading partners into… not-trading non-partners.
What a time to be alive 🙃
Just ask yourself who benefits from any of this and you know where these ideas come from.
Oh, I know. It’s blindingly obvious.
The EU recently agreed to pay 1500 milliard in gifts to the USA. The bed is made.
“They must know about our peaceful ways… by force!”
And in return you will comply to the level playing field rules when it comes to your digital services, right?
What? No. And if you threaten to regulate their tech giants they will fund extremists in your countries or threaten you with even higher tariffs.
:(
shhhh now go play with this LLM that’s harvesting all of your data and conversations 🥰
thanks dad, you’re the best!
Said by a dumb as fuck republican who doesn’t understand how cooked the US is because of him and the other Nazis.
What a great way to talk to your partners
He doesn’t want a level playing field. A level playing field would mean obeying the same rules and regulations.
Exactly - a genuinly level playing field would mean the US adopting higher labor standards, environmental regulations, and consumer protections that many trading partners already have in palce.
Threatening is always a winning strategy lol. Countries are already cancelling deals with US. I am sure comments like this will make them reconsider.
Fuck them :)
Or what, you’ll add more import taxes that will get passed on to the consumer?
Cool.
Don’t be competitive. We really don’t believe in that in the US. We believe in excluding competitors since that is easier than innovating.
When someone starts throwing out threats, that means they are totally in control of the situation.
fuck. off. we don’t NEED you!
Shame the EU thinks it does.
we’ll see. if i can trust the EU for anything, it’s being bureaucratically obtuse and using that for its advantage. lets give it time.
Well I’m sure Brazil is happy with this dumbass statement.
I bet he has a great relationship with his wife, whit that understanding of what partnership is.
Mate, we had an “unfair” relationship with you in your favour here in Australia and you still fucked it up
