The European Union’s executive arm requested “full clarity” from the United States and asked its trade partner to fulfill its commitments after the U.S. Supreme Court struck down some of Donald Trump’s most sweeping tariffs.

Trump has lashed out at the court decision and said Saturday that he wants a global tariff of 15%, up from the 10% he announced a day earlier.

The European Commission said the current situation is not conducive to delivering “fair, balanced, and mutually beneficial” trans-Atlantic trade and investment, as agreed to by both sides and spelled out in the EU-U.S. Joint Statement of August 2025.

          I dont get it. Are you proud that US actively doing military operations in other countries? Or are you thinking unstable countries with natural resources are inherently better than nations in EU?

          That is not really the insult you seem to think.

            No, I am really proud of Trump and his administration. We need to dominate all countries  and ensure our best interest is in place. Soon we will remove tax for American citizens as it will be paid by you guys whichever country youre from.

              I could comment something clever and snarky here, but why bother as you are just going to delete that comment too.

      Absolutelly!

      With the US the EU should ACT, not talk - there is no point in talking to actors which are neither honorable nor reasonable: even if they agree with you it means nothing at all because their actions and their words don’t match.

      Removing itself from any treaties with the US that allow recognition of American Copyrights and Patents in the EU would be a wonderful start, and a proper crackdown on the many crimes of American tech companies operating in the European Free Trade area would also be wonderful.

      Sure, a proper trade war with the US would also hurt the EU, but better a short sharp pain as that rotten tooth is pulled than leaving it there as the rot spreads out from it (which it already has and we in the EU are getting a lot of needless problems from things like damage to European innovation due to accepting US-style IP like Business Patents, anti-circunvention laws and ridiculously long Copyrights and the nasty societal effects of the practices of US tech companies like Meta, Google and even Palantir).

      The US has turned into an anchor you don’t want to be tied to so that it won’t pull you down as it quickly sinks.
