Starting today, June 1st, 25 percent will be on steel and 10 percent for aluminum, as the US puts on the EU through these charges.

"Spiel über Bande" - hitting the EU, but the real target is the German trade surplus.

Germany wants to shy away and hope for the best, these good-hearted hopers, but retaliation plus X is needed. And if Trump strikes against that, retaliate again, this time plus X*2. Where only force is understood, it needs force to make oneself understood.

That tariff is also on Canada and Mexico, who have of course imposed tariffs of their own.

At least one consequence of this decision not sit well with the Trump base however, increased beer prices...

The EU's list of products at which to strike have been choosen since their production focusses in states with strong political followership of and senators supporting the Donald.

Or so the EU hopes at least.

None of the six German submarines is operational currently, since 18 months or longer. Too bad timing.

Pah when England declared war in 1939, Germany had nine operational submarines. And the new ones are even better (i mean, if they work

)

And who can take this talking turtle Wilbur Ross for serious?
Donald is still angry that his grandfather was denied a return to Germany, after he ran away from serving in the military.
Meanwhile we reacted with tarriffs on peanut butter. Take that, Donald!

But it is not as bad as it looks, i mean it is like in every marriage, now and then there are some bloody scraps, and murder...
