EPP leader Manfred said approval of the EU-US deal “is not possible at this stage” given the US president’s threats

It was a garbage deal, anyways. It was garbage in substance (agreeing to unilateral tariffs???), and it was garbage in that you knew Trump would not even stick with a deal massively in his favor.
Making deals with the Trump administration is in general an exercise in futility.
I will lose my shit if the EU now agrees to an even shittier deal🫠
The deal that, I think, was entertained by EU, to keep the orange pedo rapist happy, for a while. It was always a turd sandwich. He just pulled that stupid face thinking he had it agreed. He has in fact, fed that turd sandwich to his own voters
“The trade bazooka.”
I’m dead. That’s the funniest thing I’ve read in a while.
Just an idea: Maybe Trump et al. are pissed off with the Mercosur deal? And that’s why they bring up the Monroe doctrine out of the graveyard of history. Why they provoke with Greenland. Why after trying to take over Venezuela, they directly imply that they intend to do the same with other, non-authoritarian countries in the region?
I mean, that’s been a clear focus of their international policy in recent weeks. The funny thing in this shitty situation is that trying to divide and conquer, they bring us closer together.
