    Well, yeah, but the EU could go for retaliatory tariffs again, which could put huge economic pressure on the US, hopefully forcing Trump’s hand into honouring the deal.

        That’s the one that will really hurt (the right people) - Canada and EU dropping US copyright would hurt too, and if all else fails, just dump Treasuries

          AFAIK it has actually been suggested that EU could drop American patents, to create a competitive IT infrastructure without USA.
          I suppose copyright could be a logical follow up.

          As a US citizen… Dropping us copyright would be a critical blow. Don’t enforce rights on tv/novies/games/music would crumble the economy. I’m not against it but yeah, that’s a nuke to the economy.
