Fair enough. Completely agree on poor statement and need to stand up. But maybe this deal can buy the EU some time. We know that countries can't switch trade partners overnight. I guess I'm trying to see the positives here...
I definitely see your point but what would have happened if VdL had not compromised? I'm not focusing on the rhetoric ("biggest trade deal ever"), but on the economic costs of, say, 30% tariffs. Or do you think Trump was just bluffing? Honest question, I'm not arguing against you 🙂
Nice illustration -- using Belgium beer -- of how complicated tariffs are becoming. It is not just about the level but the uncertainty of which rate applies.
Took a long time! Hopefully y'all will find it interesting.
