The EU has no clue as to what "free trade" really means, and that is one reason China is cleaning their clocks.
Sorry, but that is bullsh*t. Just like there's a ban on genetically modified crops in the EU, the US doesn't allow cabotage for European airlines, and there are ownership restrictions with regard to American carriers as well. Free trade - my *ss.
Yes, the EU has tariffs on certain US products, just like the US slapped tariffs on European steel to protect American companies from (at that time) superior competitors.
While you are completely right with regard to farm subsidies, the rest of your statement again proves the worth of anecdotal evidence: none at all.

Look at Airbus, and then look in the mirror.
