But he also indicated that he wanted the EU to reduce its standards to allow more U.S. goods to enter its market, referring to safety measures as “non-monetary tariffs.”

“It’s tariffs where they put things on where they make it impossible for you to sell a car … they make it so difficult, the standards and the tests,” Trump said. “They come up with rules and regulations that are just designed for one reason: that you can’t sell your product in those countries. And we’re not gonna let that happen. Those are called non-monetary barriers.”

Keep your pedestrian hazards like the cybertruck in your country. We already have enough people driving unnecessarily huge cars. We need less and smaller cars.

Please, European countries, and even China for that fact, please don’t give in. Make tRump eat shit for this stupid bully tactic. He’s turned the US into the kiddie table all the parents ignore.

The ridiculous thing is, digital earnings like the billions from Meta, Google etc. are not getting counted into the trade by Americans. Wonder how the trade deficit would look like if we did that. Apart from that, nobody wants to buy your ugly cars here, they wouldn’t even fit to our streets. It’s not like you couldn’t produce something for the European market, if you wanted. Nobody is interested in something like the Ford F150

Sorry we don’t negotiate with terrorists
