Large majority of Europeans support retaliatory tariffs against US, poll finds
The article title is a bit of a misnomer because apparently they only surveyed western Europeans rather than people across Europe. But still it's interesting.
These survey results appear in the article:
They absolutely should
I could imagine better ideas than tariffs on Jack Daniel's tbh.
E.g.: Mandating EU companies to use EU server infrastructure, mandating large companies to use open-source software (ideally developed in the EU), stopping those F35 orders, throwing the US army off Greenland...
The EU has historically been quite targeted when counter-tariffing America. A couple of quotes from this Guardian article:
These tariffs, which target notable US goods worth €4.5bn, often from Republican states, will snap back on 1 April.
And
“We try to hit … where it hurts,” said a senior EU official, who said the bloc was targeting soya beans, which are grown in Louisiana, the state of the US speaker of the House, Mike Johnson. “We love soybeans, but we’re happy to buy them from Brazil or from Argentina or from anywhere else.”
The us is one county I'm afraid
I don't know about tariffs, but i would like to see fees for data transfering of people outside of EU, more fees over GDPR non compliance and certain bans of data transfering to US (health data, finascial data etc). This is where they can be bleed.
Do it, you lose nothing by further distancing Europe from the United Nazis of America
Kuddo's for the bias disclaimer & adding in the graph. (Edit: typo)
Not to be that guy, but technically:
I don't disagree with this graph but in different context you can also divide Europe in to western European countries and eastern European countries according to their alignment during the majority of the previous century. In that case, Bulgaria, Poland and the Baltic states all belong to the group of eastern European state. I think this is the context in which OP meant the fact that mainly western countries are surveyed. I often see headlines mentioning Europe or Europeans and only refer to the EU and it's citizens, in the same 'wrong' way.
It's odd that the article title says "majority of Europeans" when the article itself makes clear that only some western European countries were surveyed. So I thought people should know that.
Totally
thank you, we need the oligarchs weakened if we ever want america to be a democracy again
I wish I didn’t just have Canadian made products labeled, it would be better to label American ones. I’m not against the rest of the world and their products, just the u.s. and frankly not the whole u.s, i will support California and Minnesota and other deep blue states.
Lets do it! And mark all EU products with the EU flag! "MADE IN EU"
Hit them back - hard!
