President Donald Trump on Friday said he is “recommending a straight 50% Tariff on the European Union” after complaining that trade negotiations have stalled.

The EU “has been very difficult to deal with,” Trump wrote. “Our discussions with them are going nowhere!”
The European Union, which was formed for the primary purpose of taking advantage of the United States on TRADE, has been very difficult to deal with. Their powerful Trade Barriers, Vat Taxes, ridiculous Corporate Penalties, Non-Monetary Trade Barriers, Monetary Manipulations, unfair and unjustified lawsuits against Americans Companies, and more, have led to a Trade Deficit with the U.S. of more than $250,000,000 a year, a number which is totally unacceptable. Our discussions with them are going nowhere! Therefore, I am recommending a straight 50% Tariff on the European Union, starting on June 1, 2025. There is no Tariff if the product is built or manufactured in the United States. Thank you for your attention to this matter!
Why is EU speaking german. Weird
My guess is language other than English was used to further differentiate it from America, and German was chosen for being I think second most used language on Lemmy
Broken English perfectly differentiates itself from non Broken English that is spoken in US for example
It’s also the biggest language (in terms of native speakers) in the EU. Not that it’s anywhere close to a majority…

No shit but I don’t see it fitting. Does “EU” suddenly speak Italian if an italian EU commission president came to power? It makes more sense what the people of EU commonly speak, aka broken English. As with all country memes are
