Nonsense.

Commentators, the press and news agencies alike, all reeled in horror at what he was suggesting at that public announcement.
"...inject it INSIDE THE BODY bah blah blah..."
It's only hornsmokers like yourself that attempt to distort what he said.
Lies my arse.

He didn’t say this. So that’s you repeating a lie.

I would imagine that between the US and EU such practices roughly balance out.

It is very hard to find good information, though.

The only restrictive ones are standards based, eg US most us cars do not meet euro 6 compliance except for electric vehiacles. Food standards ... we and the EU ban a huge list of ingredients that are considered harmful. and the US says buyer beware.

eg UK: Potatoes, Vegetable Oil (Sunflower, Rapeseed), Dextrose (only added at beginning of the season). [The restaurants use non-hydrogenated vegetable oil].

US: Ingredients: Potatoes, Vegetable Oil (Canola Oil, Soybean Oil, Hydrogenated Soybean Oil, Natural Beef Flavor [Wheat and Milk Derivatives]*, Citric Acid [Preservative]), Dextrose, Sodium Acid Pyrophosphate (Maintain Color), Salt. Prepared in Vegetable Oil (Canola Oil, Corn Oil, Soybean Oil, Hydrogenated Soybean Oil with TBHQ and Citric Acid added to preserve freshness), Dimethylpolysiloxane added as an antifoaming agent. CONTAINS: WHEAT AND MILK. *Natural beef flavor contains hydrolyzed wheat and hydrolyzed milk as starting ingredients.

As you said above, the EU don't need to respect US law. They could insist on it.

But anyway, going back to your original point, what did you mean when you said Trump should not have treated EU as a bloc. Do you mean different tariff rates for different EU countries.

He doesn’t like the EU. Assessing the trade “deficit” on an individual state basis and “applying” his “calculation” would cause internal conflict.

Of course they could create hubs, but not as easily.

I don't know anything about the nuts and bolts of customs procedures. When EU goods arrive in the USA, how do they determine which EU country the goods come from. Does the "paperwork" just say "from EU" or does it go into more detail.

You think EU law applies to the US.

He can do as he likes. Ya muppet.

Childish strawman

The EU has a single market surrounded by an external border known as the customs Union, every country within is bound by the collective set of rules.

Trump, April 23: A question that probably some of you are thinking of if you’re totally into that world, which I find to be very interesting. So, supposing we hit the body with a tremendous, whether it’s ultraviolet or just very powerful light, and I think you said that hasn’t been checked, but you’re going to test it. And then I said supposing you brought the light inside the body, which you can do either through the skin or in some other way. And I think you said you’re going to test that too. Sounds interesting, right? And then I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in a minute, one minute. And is there a way we can do something like that by injection inside or almost a cleaning, because you see it gets in the lungs and it does a tremendous number on the lungs. So it’d be interesting to check that. So that you’re going to have to use medical doctors with, but it sounds interesting to me. So, we’ll see, but the whole concept of the light, the way it kills it in one minute. That’s pretty powerful.

ABC News chief White House correspondent Jonathan Karl, April 23: The president mentioned the idea of a cleaner, bleach and isopropyl alcohol emerging. There’s no scenario where that could be injected into a person, is there?

Bryan: No, I’m here to talk about the finds that we had in the study. We don’t do that within that lab at our labs.

Trump: It wouldn’t be through injection. We’re talking about through almost a cleaning, sterilization of an area. Maybe it works, maybe it doesn’t work. But it certainly has a big effect if it’s on a stationary object.

You think Trump can’t set France a different tariff to Germany? It’s import into USA, EU rules are irrelevant. It’s the US applying the duty, not the EU

It’s up to the US to demand if they say the country of manufacture must be stated. Their rules. Not the EUs.

If you don’t comply your stuff gets stuck in a warehouse

EU nations don’t sell same stuff or same volumes to USA, so you would need to provide examples to support your point.

Anyway Trump has already blinked due to bonds


EU can look at taxing returns on U.S. bonds held by EU-based entities.

Sure he can. And he can declare different tariffs on Essex turnips or Welsh lamb. But it won't be part of a trade agreement.

You’re just being silly again.

Splitting up the U.K. is not his goal. The EU…. Different story.

Deflection. The point stands. EU rules don’t apply to Trump tariffs

USA can’t demand much at all, Trump has already shat himself over bond market.

You mean stuff that American companies have ordered and need to run their business.

For example if Americas biggest car exporter get car parts stuck in a warehouse…..that’s gonna make USAs trade deficit even worse
