It's amazing how his 'governmental negotiations' are essentially extortion

He only knows how to operate via extortion.

tariffs on eu would hurt us businesses more than the eu

Give him a break, he doesn't know that a tariff is.

Why are they reporting shit like he's President? I feel like Biden should throw him in a cell for acting like President before he is.

Let's just wait for a president to say this, before we tell him to fuck off, again.

Does the EU even export all that much to the US?

Does EU still get most of its oil from Russia? Maybe money going to US is actually better?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

No, barely anything from Russia … directly. Money going to the US is better than to Russia, but even better would be to be free from needing fossil fuels at all.
