'Goodbye Trump, hello Asia' is the EU's New Trade Strategy

Ursula von der Leyen wants the EU to team up with a 12-nation Pacific trade group. That could serve as a new platform for fans of rules-based trade.

Bound to happen.
Trump put the "I" in "unreliable."

So stupid.

The 10 largest economies in the world are U.S. states.

They arent going anywhere. Everyone wants to trade with the U.S. That isnt going to change. Trump just has leverage. Progressives hate that.

Liberals are stupid.

Almost 50% of their LNG comes from us. Good luck

That sounds like something that is not true.

@#4 ... Everyone wants to trade with the U.S. That isnt going to change. ...

Why won't it change? Because your alias says it won't?

"Over the last several years, the U.S. has become the EU's biggest LNG supplier, providing 45% of the bloc's LNG needs last year, according to ICIS, a commodity intelligence service. That's three times more than in 2021. Germany takes nearly all of its LNG from America.

Thus far in 2025, the trend seems to be continuing, as European demand for LNG is expected to rise this year."
