Many investors were already buying into the European market before the “tariff brouhaha.”
Their positioning will be short lived.

The world. Australia also called an emergency meeting when the US no longer subsidized their education system.

So these eurowienies expect us to carry them. Yes. It's the way socialism 'works'. Americans have become the consumer slaves of China, socialist Europe, and of most of our 'friends' and trading 'partners'.
To: Jonty30
You could almost say it’s the cash value of our ‘help’.

"The European Union could be staring down the barrel of a massive economic hit—up to $1.25 trillion"
That's all?

I think maybe in this case the parasite (the EU) has sucked so much out of Germany that’s the host is deathly ill.

The non tariff barriers are a bigger deal than the official tariffs. The EU has LOTS of non tariff barriers in the form of Gaia Worship regulations, regulations requiring that there be no free speech, all sorts of regulations about food that are ostensibly about health and safety but which are really all about protectionism, etc.

That’s nothing.
What if we followed that up with pulling our armed forces from Europe?
DeGaulle of them...

Hey EU, here’s an idea....
Make a deal with the ultimate deal maker that’s fair to America and the European Union countries, and we will all prosper.

As for Meloni, she took the initiative to meet with Trump. Once again, she is proving to be patriotic and a strong leader.
