Friendly reminder of why do we have to buy European: Trump set to announce reciprocal tariffs on US trading partners (www.euronews.com)

Trump has said that he is going to impose reciprocal tariffs... and he already considers European VAT a tariff. So we,d better start finding substitutes from Europe mainly to product and services from the USA..

We are talking about taxes right? You think an iPhone that is made in thailand, transported through in international waters and sold in Liechtenstein gonna pay taxes to the US? And Stephen King? You think the US get any taxes after copies sold outside the us?

And yes, the US can make whatever laws it wants! The thing is, the other countries can either not follow it or reinstate the same terms as retaliation!

That's indeed what happens in a trade war. In the end it comes down to relative power (in)balance: who needs whom the most.
