Summary

Donald Trump has announced plans to impose 25% tariffs on the European Union, claiming the bloc was “formed to screw the United States.”

While details are pending, he suggested the levies would target cars and other imports. The EU, a major U.S. trading partner, has vowed immediate retaliation, with potential tariffs impacting $29.3 billion in exports.

French President Emmanuel Macron had attempted to dissuade Trump, urging focus on China instead.

Critics, including economists and conservative media, warn the tariffs could harm the U.S. economy.

    There you have it! If you want to cry for your proprietary Apple cables (Lightning, etc.) then do it, you have the right to be a complete moron. Now please post me an image of an iPhone with a floppy drive, because people were crying about the “obsolete headphone jack”, and didn’t want a “paper-thin phone”, nor those epic sci-fi airpods!
