At bare minimum they should also demand that Trump stops talking about or making plans on annexing Greenland.

This is the same trade deal that the EU negotiated with Obama. Trump refused to sign in 2017. They are only offering him what was on the table 8 years ago and he refused. Calm down already.
So like what Canada and Mexico promised when this tariff bullshit first started?
Canada had a signed free trade deal already. A deal trump personally negotiated and signed.
But was also the most UnFAir trade Deal EvURrrR
ETA: according to Shitler himself
They shouldn't even have offered that, now he feels justified and vindicated in his demands and lies that the others are doing the US harm.
Best was to have the press loudly declare they offered 0-0 in 2017 and he did not want anything to do with that ... but putting it on the table (again) now, and saying we're ready to negotiate, is a show of weakness on the part of the EU.
Literally the same deal Trump already pulled out of. We need people with longer memories to fight the fascist threat.
This is infuriating. Why can’t anyone abroad realize that the USA is dead? Ignore us and we have no power.
The US is a symptom of a world-wide problem.
Agreed. All this shit is just a hop and a skip away from literally every other nation out there that's not already devolved into such bullshit.
Capitalism gonna capitalism
They don’t get it. It’s not about reciprocal tariff schedules. They need to buy Trump™️ Shitcoins™️.
Trump, 78, has also slapped all foreign-made cars coming into the US with 25% tariffs.
The EU’s average tariff on non-US agricultural products is around 1.6%, but 10% duties are put on American cars.
They offered zero for zero on cars and trump declined because he's still talking about trade deficits like it's the same thing...
I'm calling it now, he's going to try and reduce stuff like this by 10% for both. Putting the EU at zero and US at 15%, and he'll claim that stays until the defeciet is even.
If any country is dumb enough to go along with it, he'll wait maybe a few months before I creasing them again.
I was hoping the world would move away from the US, it would be hard but good for everyone in the end. But it doesn't seem like they well.
He's going to demand the EU must buy the chlorine washed chickens and growth hormones laced beef... the fact that they do not want them has been bothering him for years and in his mind it is a willfull trade deficit.
