Poland is throwing its toys around. Perhaps because they are not going to be given so much money in the future in exchange for their autonomy...

Apparently Juncker averted a trade war and has managed to keep the trading going with USA without tariffs.

Been to:
Swords Made of Letters - 1938. The war is looming in France - and Alexandre Reythier does not have much time left to protect his country. A novel set before the war.
A Painted Shield of Honour - 1313. Templar Knights in France are in grave danger. Can they be saved?

Re: Future of the European Union
EU/Germany's main goal to avoid tariffs on auto and industrial goods.
Someone verify this for me: Trump admin made a similar set of aspirational "deals" with China ~April, but these haven't been followed up on and instead escalating rounds of sanctions have been exchanged. Now Trump is threatening to sanction all US-China trade.
Am I right?
What it looks like to me is, Trump wants to foist American exports - such as exist - onto the world while sharply curtailing the permeability of America to imports from the world. Very free trade. Much fool.

I don't really care how unfair it is that our products are better/subsidized, I don't want to buy your canned cancer either way.
If they flood the market with cheap, unhealthy food, it might still become the only thing our supermarkets offer, at least in the price range affordable for most.
