At the expense of alliance and trade with the whole of EU? And damaged relations for the foreseeable future?
I am not from the US. If I was I wouldn't be very thrilled for it, no.
- dvfjsdhgfv 10mo agoNot just the EU. The USA has no more allies and is not perceived as a reliable partner at any level. Sure, officially they will shake hands and say whatever is needed but in the meantime new partnerships are being created because in this chaotic world stability has a big value.
- surgical_fire 10mo agoYes, and I am fine with that. I live in the EU, and I think it will actually be very positive in the medium to long term that the EU sheds its dependency on the US and starts treating it for what it is - a hostile foreign nation. The Mercosur trade agreement, for example, is something great that came out of this. Trump finally pushed the EU to look for good partnerships elsewhere. So, in a sense, this whole bullshit with Greenland may have positive outcomes still. I am hoping that the EU uses the anti-coercion instrument against the US and their companies.
- coumbaya 10mo agoThe mercosur being great I'm not so sure... Yeah let's import a lot of agricultural products that can use banned chemicals why our farmers can't and so can't compete, just so that Geemany can export a few cars...
- surgical_fire 10mo agoThat's not what the deal is.
