    1. After you just attacked the trade agreements we had? This should have been said on day 1 rather than cupping Putins balls. This administration is a joke with how they handled any of this.

    2. Doubtful to work well. Companies have been building up alternatives overseas via offshoring and outsourcing. There are more venues friendly to autocracy because it was cheaper to go that route.

      And that isn’t touching the current administration’s antics.

    3. Little late for that morons. This administration is such an evil clown show. Everyday is just like living in a south park episode or the twilight zone.

    4. Its very foolish of Europe to continue to buy oil and back door sanctions. The politicians need to get rhe corporates under control.
      After Ukrain Europe is next.

      > Secretary Scott Bessent said if the Supreme Court rules against the administration on tariffs, refunding the funds would be “terrible” for the Treasury.

      When the Supreme Court rightfully rules against the “emergency” tariffs as the Constitution demands, they’ll never say that the tariffs be refunded. They’ll say it was an oopsie but it wasn’t ruled on before so it doesn’t count.

      > “We are in a race now between how long can the Ukrainian military hold up, versus how long can the Russian economy hold up?” Bessent added. “And if the U.S. and the [European Union] can come in, do more sanctions, secondary tariffs on the countries that buy Russian oil, the Russian economy will be in total collapse, and that will bring [Russian] President [Vladimir] Putin to the table.”

      I really hope one day we officially find out what caused the Trump administration to reverse course on Russia so drastically.

    6. TL;DR: We have no plan, zero. Because of that lack of a plan we continually punch of ourselves in the junk and now we need your help to bail us out….again.

    7. The EU should cut off the US as a trading partner to the best it can. The US has proven to be incredibly unreliable and the current regime will back stab at the first moment it seems useful to them. I don’t know how anyone would possibly trust anything coming from the US right now.

      You mean that now new world order is peace; therefore, we Us the warmonger needs to start more wars. China large army is protecting peace and work together through cooperation. US is all about bullying. The title should read:” after 9-3-2025 parade in china the world sees hope of new leader brings peace. Now US urges allies to band together and make that not happening”

      Majority of Europe: you hear this shit France?

      France: I know right. America finally speaks French. Who knew?

      All jokes aside; I doubt any European nations believe anything we do in good faith. We completely ruined that.
