    1. Threatening tariffs on historic allies unless they agree to a territorial deal feels less like diplomacy and more like economic coercion.. and Europe’s pushback underscores how serious this is.

    2. They shouldn’t weigh it, they should just do it.

      Trump is a threat to the world economy…amoung a whole host of other things he’s a threat to. Appeasement clearly isn’t working. Diplomacy didn’t work since any “trade deal” negotiated with Trump is subjected to the whims of a dementia riddled pedophile who can blow up a whole agreement because the sky was a different shade of blue than he wanted it to be. Waiting him out is no longer an option since he seems content to burn the world down if he’s being ignored.

      At this point, Europe and China need to just exert the maximum amount of financial pain on the US as possible to force the people and Congress to finally get off their asses and remove this lunatic.
