alistair Europe (Starmer included) needs to act collectively and threaten retaliatory tariffs. Nothing should be taken off the table.
I’m keen on the idea they call in or sell off the US national debt (8 to 12 trillion owned by European countries I believe), which could effectively bring the US economy to a standstill. That ought to give them something to think about… or not… who knows with this lot. Maybe they will import enough French wine to cover it.
They could also start booting the US military out of every European nation, something that would play badly in the states I reckon. Although that might end reeeeeeeeally badly for us.
