Honestly, this is a genius play by Trump. He put 50% tariffs on India and now he’s telling Europeans they have to follow. Except their economy is far less self sufficient, so their only choice will be to do more business with the US.

“Completely destroy your economy and make yourselves wholly reliant on the US, effectively destroying any semblance of autonomy you had. You need to do it because…uhh…Putin bad man! Yeah, it’ll totally own Putin if you turn Europe into a powerless US colony!”
Seems like burning down Europe might’ve been the goal all along here.
“Go on EU, sic ‘em, boy!”
Cute, Europe’s attack dog thinks it’s the boss.
With the recent supposed “incursion” into Poland by drones the euros are sure to eat this up.
lol amazing timing on that right
why is he even beefing with india rofl
Because they keep buying Russian oil
“I am not doing this because it will collapse my economy. EU should do it”
With Russia and China having signed power of Siberia 2, China’s going to need a lot less LNG going forward. So, the US is just making sure they’ll have a captive market.
they’re gonna ignore him so he’ll threaten tariffs on the EU for the 17th time
I mean they already knuckled under when he imposed his trade “deal” on them. I expect exact same thing will happen here. The geniuses running the EU painted themselves into a corner. They want the war to keep going, and they need US backing to do that. Now Trump will say that the US already put tariffs on India, but the EU is undermining that by continuing buying energy from India. So, either EU stops that and buys energy from the US exclusively, or the US will leave them to hang.
