The offer to Europe is a poisoned chalice. Europeans are expected to betray China, gut food safety laws for toxic US beef, and pray America doesn’t knife them in the back with pharma tariffs mid-negotiation. The EU still deludes itself that 90 days of tariff pauses mean goodwill, as if the US hasn’t spent decades sabotaging allies. We’ll see if European leadership understands that when the dollar collapses, America will drain Europe’s corpse first.
Entirely expected, but we will see which way the EU pulls. Right now approval for China is rising while US approval is falling.

You’d think they’d learn after repeated rug pulls, hopefully quantitative buildup will leap to qualitative shifts.
