And beginning negotiations was the sole purpose of these tariffs. The E.U. refused to willingly come off their high horse and negotiate. They were warned of tariffs then saw fit to ignore it. Now its realizing it wasn't just a threat.

There appears to be one smart guy left in the E.U.

I guess whats appealing too me about this move is a President (like him or not) who is looking out for his own nation instead of going on an apology tour bowing to kings and queens.
