Trump launches blistering new trade attack against Brussels, as he agrees to cool tariff war with Beijing.
Donald Trump said Monday that the European Union is worse than China, hours after Washington and Beijing agreed to slash respective punitive tariffs and de-escalate their trade war.
“European Union is in many ways nastier than China, okay?” Trump said, as he lashed the bloc. “Oh, they’ll come down a lot. You watch. We have all the cards. They treat us very unfairly.”
Despite several attempts at negotiating with Washington to remove Trump’s tariffs on European goods, the EU has yet to achieve a breakthrough.
What does this mean in practice?
Strict rules on EU data and heavy fines for breaking those. Tariffs on taking EU data out of the EU. Changing tax rules on services and advertising. Basically make having a foreign digital service in the EU unprofitable.
Thanks for explaining, that sound good. I hope we can also squeeze in Year of Linux on the Desktop as an added bonus.
