The EU has no say about how its members invest and doesn’t have the power to invest this sum itself so I’m very curious about what this supposed $600 billion investment is supposed to be.
Sad day anyway. France was apparently amongst the sole country which wanted to use the tools specifically put in place to retaliate against tariffs but as usual the German got their way and we end up with a deal which serve only them.
The Union is as good as dead as far as I’m concerned and the terrible thing is that it was probably Trump true goal.

- StopDisinfo910 1y agoFrance wanted to activate the Anti-Coercion Instrument immediatly after the 30% tariffs were announced. The law was passed after the first Trump presidency supposedly to prevent Europe being pressured into the kind of situation Von Der Leyen voluntarily put us in. It's a set of retaliatory measures which can be taken very quickly: blocking the ability of a country's companies to bid for some European contracts, suspending technological transfer, relaxing IP law. Anyway, as long as the PPE will be in charge and the comission is staffed with German rejects, the Union will go nowhere. European only have what they deserved. I'm just sad my country is dragged down with the sinking ship.
