The trade deal will introduce a 15% tariff for the vast majority of EU products. But some will benefit from a "zero-for-zero" scheme. #EuropeNews

I hope they do make the details public, but it does look like EU bent the knee with this one.

    This is temporary as the world adjusts to omit the US. It takes time to reorient your economy away from a consumer economy, and the US. I expect it will happen faster than many expect, as the US will no longer be a desirable supplier or consumer of your goods.

    They are isolating themselves.

      Yeah, that’s my one hope, to be honest.

      I understand needing them for now, because there’s kind of change needed is just that huge. But I hope we actively put in the work to break away from this dependence long term.
