#Trump: "We'll be dealing with them [#EU]. We are dealing with them currently, so that'll cover, pretty much the rest of it. But this [#UK deal] was separate, because of #Brexit in particular, you know, this was a separate, a separate deal."

Earlier, the #EuropeanCommission proposed countermeasures on up to 95 billion euros ($107.2 billion) of US #imports if negotiations w/Washington fail to remove the series of #tariffs applied by Trump.

Continued thread

Following weeks of pushback from the #auto industry, #Trump softened his #tariffs on foreign auto parts #imports to give #carmakers credits for what is produced in the #UnitedStates & to avoid #DoubleTariffs on raw materials used in auto production. However, the White House has not rescinded a 25% #tariff on the 8 million vehicles the US imports annually.

Analysts have said US auto #sales could drop by >1 million vehicles a year if tariffs remain in place.

Today‘s #headline in #Europe:
#Bloomberg: „the #euro-area economy grew more than exprected at the start of the year“
vs
#wsj: „The #US #economy #shrank last quater. #Imports surged as #businesses rushe to stock ahead of #tariffs, while #consumers held spending in check“ …
#ntv: (translated) #USeconomy shrank beginning #2025 surprisingly around 0.5%

Long story short: If #Trump continues like he started it‘ only a question of time until the #USA is #insolvent just like #Argentina in the past
