There are serious consequences that can happen in a trade war.
Digital Services are how the U.S. makes billions of profits from the EU.
In a trade war it is possible that digital services are hit with tariffs as it would hurt the most.
This will not happen with EU products.

And vice versa - why should those countries be concerned with the issues of my country? As a consumer, their internal conflicts have no relevance to me at all.
