    EU has to come to terms with China if they’re serious about climate change. An area where the US is currently just shitting the bed.

    Why are we (the EU) happy with 15% tariffs from the US when they just pulled them out of their ass?

      15% tariffs

      …is currently just a rumor. Everything is in a state of flux. And still, an agreement with Trump is just a piece of (toilet) paper, as he has proven repeatedly. So, let’s see how and if that all plays out.

      Also, if things get worse with the current pollling in mind, he’ll probably lose the Congress. Either in Nov 2026, or maybe even before if he also loses some of his Rep. backing during the next months.

        I think that this is the greater point. 15% is just today’s number, but it’s better than yesterday’s number, and if it came from a deal, it islikely more stable than last week’s number. This is not about the number, it’s about slowing tu ngs down to stabilize other options.
