His timing is impeccable. Make an announcement sure to roil the stock market on a Friday before a holiday weekend. You get 3 days for the price of 2.

Remember back in the 90s when Clinton’s DOJ was suing Gates and Microsoft, Internet Explorer? Then the EU got in on the the grif. Since that time the EU has “taxed” US corporations becasue the US produces nothing near what is required to support their social(ism) democracy. They have used the world trade courts to scam billions of dollars from US corporations.

Enter the Ukraine war and Zelinski. The EU is still threatening US corproations openly via the politicans mouth’s and in the their press.

The US has provided billions of dollars in direct payments into EU countries hosting US forces. The US military has created mini cities dependent upon workers, goods and services from host nations for running US bases and supporting US personnel. All the money is a direct contribution to European countries.

The US needs to draw down NATO. If we draw down the US payments it hurts the economies of countries who depend upon supporting US forces. But wait, it gets only worst. The US cannot afford to keep forward deployed armies on foreign soil at at time of 38T in financed debt. It is cheaper to keep them on US soil and the keep the money in our economy.

The EU is facing recession. The German economy has shutdown the majority of manufacturing since the Ukraine conflict and their rejection of cheap energy; they have replaced it with energy that cost 3.5 - 4x what the Russian energy costs - and that means they cannot manufacture products and export them; thus they move manufacturing off shore. The Brits left pensioners without heat and took 10% of their pensions for Ukraine two years ago... The French have watch their colonies using the Franc overseas fall from 11 to 8 and from 4% to 3% of their population. The US reducint US troops in EU removes money they can not afford to lose at this time.

As long as the US in heavily involved in EUrope, they have up to 10% of their total economies involved in military go round. The EUropean Central Banks of these countries, and the EU Bank itself, are over extended and if they have to write off the assets on their balance sheets located in Ukraine they will be technially insolvent... recessions lurking... US forces drawing down... US out of Ukraine and the money made on the transit of military goods and services paid in majority by the US within the EU economies and you have the recipe for disaster in Europe.

The American financial interdependency that the EUropeans have relied upon since 1947’s Marshall Plan running thru 67-71 which in turn was repalced by VATs in the EU budgets, is now again bringing disruptions to the European economies.

Without the US financial injections to Europe the Europeans will have to get their people working again. Even with the American’s pouring money into their economnies since WWII, since the 90s the EUropean countries have at best had less than one percent GDP reported year over year. Without the US recession is a given

Trump cannot get the EU to help him bring Zelinski to the table and they want war. The EU economies depend upon War this very moment. Without the Ukraine confict they go into recession.

Trump is gently nugging the EU opposition aligned with Biden/DNC/Rino Globalists into either working together with the Trump agenda, or they can wait him out and suffer.

Walking away from Ukraine, and putting tariffs upon the EU who has been planning more billions of dollars in trade judgements against US companies has finally confronted a president who will fight them.
