After the EU Commission capitulated like a house of cards, faster than their own shadow, to Trumps’ big-tariff-stick backed demands that extremelly dangerous and highly poluting American trucks were allowed in the EU, obviously more and more demands to “screw the safety, quality of life and health of EU citizens for the profit of American companie” would follow.
Trump’s behaviour in just about everything exactly follows the bully pattern (he’s not even subtle or sophisticated about it) so him making further and ever more damaging demands, backed by exactly the same threath as worked for him last time around, was not just predictable but pretty much guaranteed.
I also suspect Americans have a lot of blackmail material on members of the EU Commission, most of whom were hardly competent and honest politicians to begin with.
I have no doubt that China are the ones who will come out ahead in all this shit if only because they have an actual spine and American blackmail material doesn’t work anywhere as well against the crooks in power there as it does against the crooks we have in power in the EU.
