EU fears that deliverers of stzeel and aluminium to the US now will redirect their dleiveries and flood the European market with them, poutting European prodcuers of both under pressure.

2.6 bn in retaliatory tarrifs will go live next month, with Brussel threatening to add another 3.6 bn in additonal tarrifs until 2021. What takes them so long?

Trumps second strike aims at European cars, which means he wants to take Germany out of the equation, so to speak - for Germany, a targetted strike at cars means the same like a targetted strike at US weapons, arms, IT and internet companies. Its the economical core domain. Germany struggling with its boom due to dropping car exports means economic and fiscal turmoil. Bad for Germany. Bad for the EU. Good for the US.

Its amazing that some people still think that Europe and America are "allies". I do not see them as that anymore since quite some time now. Already since before Trump. Future historians maybe will already see 2003 as the cesura.
