“With tariffs and threats, Trump turns on America’s closest allies. Critics warn his posture could embolden China to expand ties to Latin American countries, and Russia to continue advances in Ukraine.” WAPO. Churchill said that the only thing worse than allies was not having any allies!
But allies have been enjoying a free lunch at America’s expense since 1945 and because America is in debt up to its eyeballs we can no longer keep picking up this tab! For example “The European Union (EU) imposes a 10% tariff on US cars, while the US imposes a 2.5% tariff on European cars. This creates an imbalance for US car manufacturers trying to sell their cars in Europe”.
And that is all I’m going to say about that!
“Germany hits 2% NATO spending target for first time since end of Cold War” Reuters. USA spends 3.4%. Trump has only 2 years to get things done before he becomes a lame duck or the DEMS recapture the House or Senate! He has to use Maximum pressure!
Time to kick the Germans in the ASS!
