https://www.cnbc.com/2025/05/25/trump-50percent-tariffs-eu-july-9.html

President Donald Trump said Sunday that he agreed to an extension on the 50% tariff deadline on the European Union until July 9.

“I received a call today from Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission, requesting an extension on the June 1st deadline on the 50% Tariff with respect to Trade and the European Union,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

“I agreed to the extension — July 9, 2025 — It was my privilege to do so,” he added.

Trump’s post came after Von der Leyen said that she had a “good call” with Trump, but needed until July 9 to “reach a good deal.”

“The EU and US share the world’s most consequential and close trade relationship,” she wrote on X.

“Europe is ready to advance talks swiftly and decisively,” she continued.

Trump imposed 20% tariffs on the EU as part of his sweeping “reciprocal tariffs,” before slashing the rate down to 10% for 90 days.

But Trump last week suggested a “straight 50% tariff” on the EU beginning on June 1, saying that the 27-nation bloc “has been very difficult to deal with.”

“Our discussions with them are going nowhere!” Trump wrote Friday on Truth Social.

He later said that he was not planning to strike a deal with the EU before June 1.

“I just said, it’s time that we play the game the way I know how to play the game,” he said during an executive order signing event at the White House.

What are you taking about, weirdo?
According to the article, upon hearing about Trump's tariffs, president Ursula von der Leyen personally phoned trump begging him to fold her up like a lawn chair. Trump was so pleased by her offer, he extended the deadline on the tariffs for 7 days

>>1408058
>No no guys, delaying the tariffs for no concessions at all is just good negotiation tactics
If you're giving the other side of the table something for free, you're a pretty shit negotiator. If Trump were a hostage negotiator the hostage taker would be up 10k, a getaway car, and a plane. And he'd still have all his original hostages.

Give the guy a break. He's 80. He doesn't give a fuck about anyone else in the world, even his own family. All he cares about is money, and now he is raking it in more than every before in his life. Elon showed him how to find the golden ticket.

The real question is, why are other world leaders paying any attention to him?

>>1408092
just look at Trump sundowning during his stupid EO signing ceremonies
He literally doesn't know what he's doing or what he's signing, and everytime he asks a question his handlers give him fake bullshit answer with just enough dick sucking to keep him moving the pen

>>1408092
Because the United States is still a major military, economic, and diplomatic force, even when headed by a demented imbecile? Cutting off contact with the country for 4+ years would decimate the world economy, not to mention empower the various antidemocratic autocracies who will gladly rush in to fill the void in the meantime.

>>1408099

My point is that they shouldn't be so dependent on us. Clean up your own economy and you can weather a storm like this for a few years. If you cannot handle a few years of uncertainty, then you're not a real country.

>>1408124
>The real question is, why are other world leaders paying any attention to him?
America is 70%~ of NATOs strength. If America pulls out, NATO no longer exists.
Germany, Canada etc can afford social programs like universal healthcare because America's ability to mobilize quickly anywhere in the world replaces their need for defense spending. If NATO leaves they lose that power projection and the ability to control the shipping lanes.
This is also why Canada, Greenland are upset. They have no real defensive capabilities. If the US wanted to annex them nobody could stop them. They are suffering from an existential crisis.
This is why you commonly see retards from Poland, Germany etc take a pro-illegal stance on migration. If you go through facebook, reddit etc and look at the profiles of the most ardently anti-Trump users, the majority of them are from Europe.

>>1408132

This is exactly what we want.
The price of food in the US increased by 28% over the last five years because we got into a war with Ukraine on behalf of the EU. And now they're trying to convince us that we're retarded because we don't want to keep blowing out our economy.
Trump is a fucking democrat from the 90's trying to deal with the fact that the EU is comprised of a bunch of leeches.

>>1408098
you are one lost confused and demented TDS-tard. the fuck went so wrong in your life?

He's 100% right you know

>>1408136
You seem to either purposely leave out the part where the US gets to station hundreds of thousands of troops in Europe as though the US wasn't buying that before by making up 70% of NATO.

>>1408136
>The price of food in the US increased by 28% over the last five years because we got into a war with Ukraine
That's not why you retard lmao. The price of food increased over the last five years because of a fucking pandemic mucking up everyone and every thing.

You really didn't see the issue with claiming we've been increasing prices the last 5 years because of a war that's only been going for 3?

LMA-fucking-O!
The level of projection here is astronomical

Do you realize that trumps predecessor literally did not sign his EOs himself, they were signed with his "handlers" by a machine and when Biden was asked about some of them, he had no recollection?

Holy fucking projection, Batman.

>>1408142
>when Biden was asked about some of them, he had no recollection?
I don't think you should play this game when Trump has repeatedly made it clear to the press he wasn't informed, didn't know, or forgot about several incredibly important events. Like the Signal group chats, planes crashing, or the state of the economy.

>>1408142
you guys give yourselves away so easily by what you project about

>>1408139
>You seem to either purposely leave out the part where the US gets to station hundreds of thousands of troops in Europe
As part of us paying for their national defense, yes.
Once we leave NATO, we will effectively be occupying these nations.

>>1408141
>The price of food increased over the last five years because of a fucking pandemic mucking up everyone and every thing.
We have the most robust food chain in the world. Supply was never the issue, whereas the supply of money most certainly is.
Printing cash to fund military ventures sounds like a good idea until citizens starting buying loafs of bread with garbage bags full of cash.
>You really didn't see the issue with claiming we've been increasing prices the last 5 years because of a war that's only been going for 3?
We are always at war on behalf of Europe or Israel. When we aren't defeating their enemies, we provide them with the tools and training to modernize their military at our own expense.
We spent seven trillion dollar destabilizing the Middle East precisely because Israel wants lebensraum. Similarly, we waged a proxy war against Russia because Ukraine's defense benefits Poland. But that all comes at the cost of the value of the dollar.
There's no reason why we should destroy our economy for the sake of any of these people. Especially not when the EU is literally buying Russian gas through India.

>>1408148
>we provide them with the tools and training to modernize their military at our own expense
it's the opposite dummy, the amount of money the US made from just supplying europe with materiel for wwi was enough to propel us to superpower status

Interesting
How many of these things you listed were signed by trump?
Oh, zero.
How many did trump order or was a part of?
Also zero?

I'm afraid that I'm not going to be able to afford food because the neocons, democats and europeans keep insisting how much of a good deal it is to devalue the dollar through spending on foreign aid.

I don't give a fuck about Ukraine, Israel, Poland or anywhere else. I just want to be able to afford a house and not pay $9 for a basic gas station sandwich.

There are two hundred countries with tariffs against us trying to convince the one country without tariffs why implementing tariffs is a bad idea.

An autopen machine was factually signing executive orders in place of Biden, and Biden factually did not even know some of these executive orders had even been signed
> Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) Export Permit Freeze

>In early 2024, during a meeting with House Speaker Mike Johnson, President Biden denied having signed an executive order that paused new permits for liquefied natural gas exports. Johnson, representing Louisiana—a state heavily involved in LNG exports—was concerned about the order's impact. Biden insisted he had only authorized a study on the matter. However, records confirmed that he had indeed signed an executive order implementing the freeze less than a month prior. This incident led Johnson to question the president's awareness of his own policy decisions.

He didn't use an autopen for everything tho, he did personally sign the things that were important to him, such as pardoning his son, and stepping down from the election

If your only source is testimony of Mike Johnson, the same guy who literally just last year insisted he wasn't an election denier before denying the results of the 2020 election, who claimed he'd release 44,000 hours of Jan 6th footage and only released 90 hours, who claimed only 1% of federal workers actually show up to the office when over 50% have jobs that inherently require them to be in person... maybe, just maybe, I don't fucking believe him.

>'It is a radar base and is also part of the Ballistic Missile Early Warning System (BMEWS).
As part of intelligence-sharing arrangements between the United States and United Kingdom (see, for example, the UKUSA Agreement), data collected at RAF Fylingdales are shared between the two countries. Its primary purpose is to give the British and US governments warning of an impending ballistic missile attack (part of the so-called four minute warning during the Cold War). A secondary role is the detection and tracking of orbiting objects; Fylingdales is part of the United States Space Surveillance Network'
>MI6 & GCHQ sharing info with CIA/NSA
>British Aerospace Systems is one of the biggest suppliers to DoD
>USAF bases in UK
UK says 'You're Welcome'.
Perhaps the above is why Trump made that deal with UK's Starmer: can US afford to lose that member of NATO? To lose the vital defense/intel link with that country?
>Once we leave NATO, we will effectively be occupying these nations
If US was out of NATO, you would lose the above, thus US would no longer be safe. As for 'we will effectively be occupying these nations', so you would have wanted King George III to win the War of Independence? If your answer is 'No' you've exposed your hypocrisy.
But then that's what is hardwired in the DNA of Trumptards. Look up the word 'Hypocrite' in the dictionary, there's a picture of Trump.
>intelligence shared with US
So the half-American Churchill should have shared the fact thst he - via Bletchley Park - had broken the Wehrmacht's Enigma code with Hitler? The fact he didn't ensured 600,000+ US troops returned to US alive after 1945. 'Lease Lend': with P-51 Mustangs with British Merlin engines, and intel shared with Roosevelt & Eisenhower? Debt Paid. US after 1945, with all those men alive & back home to make US grow into what it is today with your Boomer-in-Chief.

>>1408201
>To lose the vital defense/intel link with that country?
We have an edge in counterintelligence because we are allied with Israel, not the UK.
This was what Epstein was. A Mossad intelligence asset. One of many.
>If US was out of NATO, you would lose the above, thus US would no longer be safe.
We are also the leading producer of weapons technology in the world. The Iron Dome, for example, was based on technology we produced in 2005 as a joint venture with Israel. PRISM was our invention. We now have drone B-2 spirits and drones with gravitic propulsion engines. Our best weaponry is produced at home, not from imports.
The fact of the matter is that the EU is riding on our coat tails. That is why they are running psyops against the American people. America is a democratic republic, and they need Trump out of office, otherwise they risk becoming footnotes in the grand scheme of western history.
>If your answer is 'No' you've exposed your hypocrisy.
The UK floods its neighborhoods with hordes of muslims and has harsher crackdowns on individual liberty than even North Korea to ensure that civil unrest does not occur after a child stabbing.
They no longer represent western values by any reasonable standard. They are in no position to complain about US failing its obligations to the world.
>So the half-American Churchill should have shared the fact thst he - via Bletchley Park - had broken the Wehrmacht's Enigma code with Hitler?
Churchill was committing a war of aggression against Germany and France after they invaded Poland. He would have never needed to break the Enigma code had he had simply accepted one of the dozens of peace offers made by Germany.
The consequences of winning that war still affect us to this day, as indicated by the fact that every western country is now morally obligated to accept infinite migrants according to neoliberal values.

>>1408227
>A Trump lover is also a Hitler lover
A bust in the Oval Office because a president after 20th Jan 2025 ordered such to be placed there because he admires the subject matter so much.
What Trump admires so much is the one who planned - then praised a Labour PM who implemented his plan after WWII - the National Health Service. That previous PM was one of those whose forces - led by Supreme Commander, then later the last decent Republican president Dwight D. Eisenhower - defeated Hitler. Eisenhower & Roosevelt benefited greatly from the info shared by someone's 'Goose that laid golden eggs, but never cackled': Bletchley Park. Cracked Wehrmacht intelligence which left egg all over Hitler's face, the terminal gutache when the yolk was on him he ultimately cured with 7.65mm Aspirin in a hole in the ground. The Final Solution to the Nazi Problem indeed. Schadenfreude all round for Roosevelt and a certain UK Prime Minister who is the subject matter of that bust in the Oval Office, put there because Trump admires that Hitler-destroyer so much. Who?
Winston Churchill

Covid, now bird flu and what else? Tariffs, lack of logistics? Piss poor infrastructure, extreme weather, lack of education? Where does it end?

Fuckin bean counters raise prices for any damned reason, but when asked to lower those prices or raise wages its "NOOOOO, WE CANT DO THAT BECAUSE OF THE HECKIN INFLATIORINO!!!"

Every god damned time. Those fucks are as subhuman as lawyers, politicians and cops. Bean counters only purpose in life is "numbers get bigger". If numbers arent up, theres a problem, and theyll do whatever it takes to prevent that. WHATEVER IT TAKES. Price gouging, market manipulation, insider trading, lobbying for new laws that cut their business a break and load more onto the common man.

And nobody cares enough to give a damn. The older gen wonders why millennials are now spending $300+ monthly on booze, and the answer is so simple.

You fuckin bean counters taxed and gouged us out of everything else, drink is our last bastion of hope. What else can we afford? Oh right, nothing.
