Actually we do, when Trump last time threatened EU, EU suspended the ratification process of the trade deal, and Trump IMMEDIATELY pulled back.
EU has lots of options to retaliate against USA, for instance tax on American IT services is a very high ranking one.
Just Denmark alone supply 70% of insulin to USA. And handles 30% of container cargo to USA. This was revealed recently because of Trump threats against Greenland, which is part of the Kingdom of Denmark.
USA is far from as independent as they like to pretend, they have dependencies even on a tiny country like Denmark of only 6 million citizens.
EU has given many admissions to USA under Trump, but patience is running out.
America breaks its own economy, EU crashes with them, mass unemployment and depression follows, right wing extremists swoop in and seize power blaming immigrants, and swear fealty to the MAGA empire. Complete conjecture of course but just something to consider.

I like the option of not acknowledging US copyrights, patents, or trademarks for a minimum of one year
Let’s see how quickly the oligarchs attack Trump
All existing U.S. patents, trademarks, and copyrights are are permanently invalid. Gotta put some teeth into it.
They could just start with not enforcing the anti-circumvention clause of the us dmca.
Let there be jail-broken iPhones with European owned app stores.
They do indeed. Aren’t they like the third largest economic market in the world? They can make it really sting if they’re motivated.
Europe is indeed the third largest economy in the world, but EU is the global leader in trade.
They put in new clauses in the 750 billion trade deal between EU and US, if Trump threatens to take Greenland one more time the deal is off the table: https://www.politico.eu/article/eu-parliament-us-trade-deal-approval-us-donald-trump-proof-safeguards/
run out faster

if patience runs out eu acts before that tho, or am i misunderstanding?
