  1. I can say one thing, if the EU and China does start to work closer together going forward, the US wont stand much of a chance with that and it would weaken US power around the world big time, the US needs to be very careful what it's doing here before this roll of the dice is played because the US can't compete with the EU and China that have a far bigger economy then the US and also a lot more growth over the next few decades, it would weaken the US in Europe and in Asia and likely elseware.

  2. Thats all well and good if thoes others don't put tariffs on US goods but as we know, they are doing and this is hurting the US far more and more important, Trump is making the US market more risky for investment because of his actions, the world is a big place and they don't need the US as much as the US likes to think they do and if Trump isn't careful, things could change here thats got a lasting damging impact on the US and it could be the EU and China that benefits the most out of all this. So a word of warning, don't push all your friends away because it will be really costly when you need them, also, if the EU and China gets closer together, the US wouldn't stand much of a chance agaisnt that, so the US should be careful what it does here or not, just do what you want because who really cares, power shifts all the time anyway and this is no diffrecnce.

  3. It's very effective isn't in? and you know how you can tell it is, you can't seem to argue it and you don't even seem to try, you try to dismiss it because thats all you can do, I know the truth hurts but putting your head in the sand and pretending this isn't happening wont help you, beside, if you want to put me in my place, argue your case and show me what I'm saying is wrong because you've done nothing yet.

  4. I suspect the EU would be happy to lower tariffs on cars from the US but the EU will demand something in return of equal messure, maybe something like the US lowering tariffs on European pick up trucks or something else, Trump wont get anything for nothing. As for the tech industry, China have already threaten Trump that if he puts more tariffs on Chiness goods, they will target the tech sector, the EU would likely do the same thing and that would go down well for the US because thats big for the US. As for China, there is only one other country that could follow what China is doing and thats India but China are hitting the right notes, they already have an economy around the same size of the EU and US but they also have a lot more room to grow then us, if things continue on as they have over the last few decades, China is going to be far bigger then the US and EU, either way, Trump trying to devide the west is playing into China's hand.
