The U.S. without good reason declared a trade war on the world.
Europe is now letting their unexpected adversary, the U.S., suffer at its own hand.
“‘In that case,’ said Napoleon, ‘let us wait twenty minutes; when the enemy is making a false movement we must take good care not to interrupt him.’”

Trump sees the EU block as a threat to the USA, not sure what evidence there is on the EU taking advantage of the USA, We need to be stronger and while the UK won't rejoin the EU without this being a election manifesto, we can form better trading ties with the EU and would welcome this. We can also form trading ties with other countries such as Canada, and the current siutation makes it mutually beneficial to both sides, to the extent where it should be much easier.
The USA is going backwards, let them go backwards, as trading should be more than about goods, we should also be looking at who we are trading with and trading with countries reject science, reject DEI and equality and human rights, should be a factor in decding NOT to trade.
We do not need the USA, we do not need big tech, and much of the other nonsense that comes form the US. The world can manage without the US.
Once the USA is truly isolated it may realise what THEY have done to themselves and make changes, perhaps in 100 years time.
@zleap as an American I agree with your assessments and regret my countries self and other destructive ways.
It’s totally appropriate and needed for the world to reject our stupid destructive moves and we are all less safe, less secure and less wealthy for the foolish harm my government is inflicting on everyone including itself.
