> Let's hope Trump's administration presents a more EU friendly view on this issue. Is this sarcasm?

  Trump's been a staunch supporter of Poland and has granted Visa waivers for entry into the US for its citizens. Trump, in my view, doesn't see EU as enemy but an ally that's been taking advantage of the US especially on trade and defense spending. Some of the gripes, which are valid: - U.S. provides bulk of the defense for NATO at the moment - EU currently imposes a 10 percent tariff on US cars

    > EU currently imposes a 10 percent tariff on US cars And it's 45% on Chinese EVs. 10% isn't that high and it's not like there is a lot of demand for American cars in Europe anyway (American companies besides Tesla hardly produces any cars these days anyway, unless you count trucks)

    It's mostly defence against those pissed of by the US though, so seems fair.
