I was talking to a friend just the other day and said something to the effect of Spain seems to be one of the only countries out there with a head on their shoulders in regard to their actions with Israel and the use of their airspace.
So naturally fascist fuck Donnie dipshit does this.
It’s a bit pointless though, isn’t it? Seeing as Spain is part of the EU.
If the rest of the EU backs Spain then probably, yes. Will they? They don’t have a great track record of standing up to Trump either collectively or individually.
Honestly, I do not know what you are basing that on.
I think you are mixing up two things: EU members trying to avoid immediate escalation with the US, and Europe preparing to reduce its dependence on the US over time.
Also, because Spain is in the EU, formal trade retaliation against Spain is not just a Spain-only issue. External trade policy is handled at EU level.
Yeah, because the EU doesn’t exist as THE trading partner
That’s why we have it in the first place, to not be able to be blackmailed by such idiots
However, it’s unclear how Trump’s idea would work as Spain is a member of the EU, which is in charge of trade policy for all of its member countries.
He truly doesn’t know, does he?
He only knows what short summary his cabinet members give him
And they only know what a bunch of their half-wit interns managed to get out of grok.
Will this last till TACO Tuesday?
It won’t even start because the US doesn’t have a trade agreement with Spain, just with the EU. He can’t do squat about it.
No. With this loser, every day is TACO day.
“Orders halt” I don’t see a law he cannot write I don’t see an EO that will get struck down
It’s just fucking noise, he’s dick hurt Meloni punched his tiny tiny unfunctional wee wee.
Time for Spain to enact a social media tax then.
The fuck
Stop calling my masters genociders, weeeee
Good! Stop trading with Canada too!
Good. I do the best I can, but it’s pretty hard to track the ownership of every brand to make sure I’m not giving money to an US company.
Them voluntarily not sending their products over here will make my boycott much easier.
