EU: Tariffs Coming on US Aircraft, Cars, and Food

The European Commission proposed countermeasures after President Donald Trump threatened to hit Europe with a 30% tariff. The EU will target 72 billion in US goods, including aircraft, cars, and car parts. The bulk of those exports targeted are industrial goods, totaling 65.7 billion, while 6.4 billion in agricultural products would also be hit. The list includes bourbon whiskey, despite intense lobbying from France and Ireland to shield the alcoholic beverage sector from US President Donald Trump's reprisals. The biggest line item in the 200-page list is aircraft and aircraft parts, with tariffs set to target almost 11 billion of US exports, potentially dealing a heavy blow to airplane manufacturer Boeing.

Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping want to topple America's hegemonic position over the world by disrupting the economic and military fabric keeping EU, NATO, and NORAD together. Dummkopf Trumpf is delivering for them in spades. In less than six months, Putin's protege in the White House has turned the US into both a Rogue AND Parish state, joining the odious ranks of Israel, North Korea, Afghanistan, and Russia. No doubt that insider trading will continue in the White House and the only beneficiaries of Trumpf's reckless policies are the American oligarchs supporting him, as well as the Kremlin and Beijing. Israel benefits as well, continuing to receive billions of dollars of American taxpayer funds while ethnically cleansing the West Bank and Gaza Strip under the gleeful eye of Christian evangelical US Ambassador Mike Huckabee.
