In response to Trump's tariffs, the European Union is imposing tariffs on $3,400,000,000 in American products, from whiskey and motorcycles to peanuts and cranberries.

And trump threatens tariffs on $230,000,000,000 worth of EU cars...With a near 100 billion trade surplus the EU will run out of things to slap tariffs on before America does.
In other news, countries that have a trade deficit with the USA such as Australia have avoided tariffs altogether.
Lets hope we in the UK can get out of the EU before the stupid fkers drag us down with them as we also have a healthy trade deficit with the USA.

The UK has a large trade surplus with the US.

This works in a trade war with just Europe, not when USA is fighting with Europe, Canada, China, Mexico etc. Everyone else drops some business, USA drops like a stone.

Incidentally, our trade surplus with the US is he reason that the Brexiteers’ claims that we will have a wonderful free trade deal with the US are lies or fantasy (depending on which one is peddling the claim): what would Trump’s principal aim be in an FTA with the UK? To reduce the surplus, obviously.

If he wants to convince GM to make RHD Camaros and Corvettes to help close that gap I’d be more than happy.

Trumps returned to his attack on immigrants now claiming they are a serious threat to US citizens claiming that 63,000 people have been killed since 9/11 by “illegals.”

This is an astounding LIE. The RATE of crime for undocumented immigrants is roughly ONE FOURTH the rate of crime among the native-born population. He got the figures from a lie made up by white supremacist Steve King.

The Washington Post pull this apart in minute detail, but the truth doesnt matter to trump.

explain that to families of those killed by illegal immigrants

proportion of Americans killed by illegal immigrants against Americans killed by legally held guns?

(It’s tiny, in case you were wondering)

[RobDickinson]

Because immigrants are less bad than US citizens they should be treated worse because of it?

[RobDickinson]

fking fascist racist bigoted bullst.

They’re not trump supporters and disagree with his policies but are just trying to provide some balance.

Odd that they’re ranting on the same kinds of threads and never interested in providing balance anywhere else though.

Interesting read saying that DT's policy is just the same as Obama, Bush......

Well the biggest loser in that trade war will be Canada, not the USA.
