In the context of background talks with French diplomats, it is clear that France is now pushing for clear countermeasures from the EU. Pointing at President Trump, a diplomat says that "an angry bull must be stopped with hard actions, concessions are nothing that impresses with a bull".
The EU takes care of all trade negotiations for the 28 member states, and EU trade commissioner Cecilia Malmström is therefore a key player. The EU has prepared responses to increased tariffs on US goods from regions in the United States governed by Donald Trump's Republican Party Partners. It's about EU customs on American whiskey, motorcycles, peanut butter, jeans and more.
Cecilia Malmström says that EU countries do not negotiate under threat from Donald Trump. But in some way, Cecilia Malmström and the EU have to enter into a negotiating track with President Trump, while the EU countries together agree on how tough response will be.

While the number of free trade deals going on between a large portion of the rest of the world accelerates further.

Who will be left to trade with the U.S.?

Mr Trump claimed the tariffs would protect US steelmakers, which were vital to national security.

Opposition to the tariffs was also voiced by prominent Republicans. House Speaker Paul Ryan, the most influential Republican in Congress, said the move "targets America's allies when we should be working with them to address the unfair trading practices of countries like China".

Well the first of America's "routine" excuses used.

When will we see the 2nd? Nice to see a Yank agree with the rest of the world's view that America "screws over its friends while kissing the ass of its enemies".

Not content with causing a global financial meltdown, they now want a global depression

Based on Justin’s false statements at his news conference, and the fact that Canada is charging massive Tariffs to our U.S. farmers, workers and companies, I have instructed our U.S. Reps not to endorse the Communique as we look at Tariffs on automobiles flooding the U.S. Market!

The completely unintelligent, uninformed and suicidal Never Trumping European/Canadian, et al Leaders [sic] and the Media are his greatest asset inside the USA and they haven't a clue.

He didn’t put America first; Russia first would be a better description. And he didn’t demand drastic policy changes from our allies; he demanded that they stop doing bad things they aren’t doing. This wasn’t a tough stance on behalf of American interests, it was a declaration of ignorance and policy insanity.
Trump demanded that the other G7 members remove their “ridiculous and unacceptable” tariffs on U.S. goods – which would be hard for them to do, because their actual tariff rates are very low. The European Union, for example, levies an average tariff of only three percent on US goods. Who says so? The U.S. government’s own guide to exporters.

All that politically matters to the USA. Is what happens in the USA. As with all nations.

That is why no peoples should for the sake of humanity give great power to, nor trust any 'Leadership'.

Both are correct.

It took awhile. But you are finally understanding both Leadership [sic] and that people of all Nations, firstly care about themselves.

Is that the best you can offer?
