As an American… Don’t. Let this Republican administration deal with it’s angry constituents. Make it hard for us, and make it very clear whose fault it is.
Spirits don’t bother me because those will probably be noticeably boycotted at a consumer level. Dairy products are a problem because many people don’t know what is and isn’t US-made. But yeah all in all it’s dissapointing that they’ve already started making deals aka negotiating with terrorists. It’s in none of our best interest really. I guess it’ll be up to you guys to put pressure on your government.
Macron makes a stereotype out of France and drags us all into it.
Trade negociation is one of those situations where EU countries need to band together, and should avoid seeking arbitrary carveouts that weaken the overall EU negociating position.
This just shows the EU is more sensitive to tariff on alcool, and has a weak point in that area that others can exploit during negotiations.
It implies Europe might fold if Trump threatens wine exports. Which Trump, being Trump, will do.
Embarrassing if true. And one more example of why we need a stronger unity, more cohesion, in the EU. Because otherwise big countries can just target one of us specifically to blackmail us.
Very disappointed by the weak-sauce response from the EU on all of this, let’s grow some balls!
EU needs to learn how to go full Carney. If the US’s largest trading partner can do it, anyone can do it. Do not negotiate with Economic Terrorists.
The EU isn’t negotiating to stop economic terrorism. They’re negotiating to maximise their profits. When you look at it through that lense it becomes a lot clearer.
Why? It’s not like shortage of bourbon, is much more than inconvenience.
