The European Union’s executive arm requested “full clarity” from the United States and asked its trade partner to fulfill its commitments after the U.S. Supreme Court struck down some of Donald Trump’s most sweeping tariffs.
Trump has lashed out at the court decision and said Saturday that he wants a global tariff of 15%, up from the 10% he announced a day earlier.
The European Commission said the current situation is not conducive to delivering “fair, balanced, and mutually beneficial” trans-Atlantic trade and investment, as agreed to by both sides and spelled out in the EU-U.S. Joint Statement of August 2025.
I mentioned this the day he did the press conference to announce the 10% worldwide tariffs.
The tariffs were originally sold under the guise of managing fentanyl trafficking by forcing new trade agreements to be crafted piecemeal with various nations instead of the large multinational agreements of yesteryear.
They were sold on Trump being such an incredible dealmaker and his constant refrain that countries were coming to him and begging him to make deals.
He literally blew up every deal that was in the works not because anyone else in the world did anything wrong, but because he is mad at his own Supreme Court rightfully telling him to pound sand. He is punishing every idiot who took a chance to work with him, not because they didn’t follow through on their agreements but because he is the biggest baby bitch on the fucking planet who cannot handle being told “no” whether it’s a whole country, a court, or a thirteen year old girl.
Master dealmaker my fucking ass. Any country that was in the process of making a deal with him already had a lot of evidence he would blow up his own deals at his convenience, but this should be the final nail in the coffin of anyone even trying to work with the US and expecting the US to be acting in good faith.
Yep. This is it. The real consequence. What little credibility they had left, they lost it.
crediwhatity?
