    For trade purposes, the EU acts as a single country. You can’t make trade agreements with a single EU country.

      You say that, but this is a timeline where California is negotiating its own trade agreements to get around the bullshit in OP’s picture. Anything could happen.

        California can do that?

        Edit from le chat mistral:

        So he doesn’t give them anything, he’s just asking to keep trading with them

        “Yes, that’s correct. Governor Newsom’s strategy primarily involves advocating for California’s economic interests and encouraging international trading partners to maintain or even expand their trade relationships with California, despite the federal tariffs. He is essentially asking these partners to consider exempting California-made products from retaliatory tariffs, emphasizing the state’s economic stability and reliability as a trading partner. This approach does not involve offering specific concessions or incentives but rather leverages California’s significant market power and economic influence to negotiate more favorable trade conditions.”

        California isn’t doing anything, just asking politely to be exempt from our tariffs on USA.

        That’s a move to force the judiciary to say tariffs are solely their perview outside of declared conventional war.

        From all the things to be point out about this idiot, this one must be the most pedantic.

              I can appreciate a tightening of focus, but I hope you don’t actually think taking our eyes off Trump will help us.

                Of course not, but this discussion is pedantic and pointless, and a distraction of what evil thongs he’s doing.
