Quick, ramp up the English wine production and get it out there……

This is turning into a proper tariff war.

What does Trump actually want from the EU?

 

[MNW67]

The reason the EU chose to put tariffs on US whiskey was to cause Trump political fallout from the red states where it is made.

He wants to protect American manufacturing. By raising taxes by 200 per cent. It won’t work

Good, we have to fight fire with fire. I suspect being out of the EU will not help

The EU don’t need to impose tariffs on American bourbon and whiskey.

Citizens are widely boycotting anything from Trumpland so that’s damage USA without any tariffs


Trump has got himself in a global tariff war which he is now losing…..

Will he though with that rabbit out of the hat (keir's pocket ) and his golf courses here in the UK

It seemed possible at one time that Trumpf wanted to lever the UK away from the EU, but his position is clear now that anybody is fair game.

I can see Ma and Pa losing their home and business this year and junior taking up the rifle and bringing down Trump.

Confiscate Trumps golf course ???

At least the EU is in a position to do something to try and counter the orange rapist...

He knows he has the UK over a barrel and he knows it's only a matter of time before he gets around to a bit more shafting...

Liam Byrne got it absolutely right...

When asked why the UK hasn't followed suit with tariffs he said...

"The EU has a cudgel to wield, whereas the UK only has a kind of stiletto"

Only the die hard brexiteers fail to understand that the UK is now a bit player in world affairs!
