You might need to clarify if that figure was EU or Europe. As they are both very different things that the stupid and uneducated* can't seem to grasp


*like our lazy media.

It could also be an outright lie from leftist pro EU Sky News. 

[Migv6 le Frog Fan]

Indeed. They along with the BBC ITN etc. often portray the EU and Europe as one and the same thing.

[Sir Tigger KC]

The EU has today offered the USA a zero tariff deal on industrial goods, and other countries including Taiwan, Israel, Vietnam have offered their own versions of a zero tariff deal to the US.

Meanwhile, Trumpy, in response to China slapping a reciprocal 34% tariff on US imports, has said if they don't withdraw their tariff, America will charge an extra 50% on Chinese imports from tomorrow!  Over to you Mr Xi!

China has decided to halt exports of its rare earth products.

Figures vary slightly, but it appears to be around $850 billion, less than I thought. Japan owns over $1 trillion, while the UK is not far behind China.

This is an interesting read, stick with it:

Yes I read that and the summary is:- 

The nuclear option China could take..... but they won't because it would affect them just as badly.... Oh and America's response would kill them!    

A nonsense article.

This might be an interesting insight into what's happening.

And something to consider...

Well the EU have jumped on the bandwagon and will apply tariffs 0f between 10 - 25% on certain goods imported from America. 

[Migv6 le Frog Fan]

I think this is going to bring Trump down. Its probably just a matter of time.
If he wants to stop China from becoming completely dominant as a global power, he might have been better to unite the free / western world behind him to bring them down a peg or two, rather than using a blunderbus approach to attack everyone and anyone at the same time.
Making the Western countries play fair could have come later if its needed.

With mid terms two years after the election, US presidents never seem to have a lot of time to get things in place.

Well Trumpy has just announced a 90 day pause to "reciprocal and 10% tariffs" on " non retaliating countries." Effective immediately.   S&P500 up 5.68%, Dow up 5.72% and Nasdaq up 7.67%

In other news Trumpy, raised tariffs on China to 125%, effective immediately! 

Trumps statement on Truth Social.

"Based on the lack of respect that China has shown to the World’s Markets, I am hereby raising the Tariff charged to China by the United States of America to 125%, effective immediately.

At some point, hopefully in the near future, China will realize that the days of ripping off the U.S.A., and other Countries, is no longer sustainable or acceptable.

"Conversely, and based on the fact that more than 75 Countries have called Representatives of the United States, including the Departments of Commerce, Treasury, and the USTR, to negotiate a solution to the subjects being discussed relative to Trade, Trade Barriers, Tariffs, Currency Manipulation, and Non Monetary Tariffs, and that these Countries have not, at my strong suggestion, retaliated in any way, shape, or form against the United States, I have authorized a 90 day PAUSE, and a substantially lowered Reciprocal Tariff during this period, of 10%, also effective immediately. Thank you for your attention to this matter!"

Looks like he read my post.

It'll probably turn out that his family have been buying and selling stocks just before his announcements

It'll probably turn out that his family & friends have been buying and selling stocks just before his announcements 

Fixed that. Tesla is up 18%!
