    I think it's time for the gloves to come off. honestly... this is a disgrace. How long are you guys across the pond (westwards, to be clear) watching this disaster unfolding?

    Yes the US are very important for the whole world's economy, but there's limits to everything. We should stop this appeasing and just call out things what they are. The US government decided that diplomacy is no longer "in", so the rest of the world should not be trying to uphold principles towards the US that are not reciprocated. 
    No - The gloves have come off, because the US is constantly ripped off and walked over by other countries. The EU imposes a 10% tariff on all incoming vehicles on the US, while the US only has a 2.5% tariff on EU made autos.  A reciprocal tariff here is completely fair game. The EU plays this "we need competition" game, when they are the ones being anti-competitive. The EU claims to be anti-monopoly...unless is European.
