I bet he has a great relationship with his wife, whit that understanding of what partnership is.

He doesn't want a level playing field. A level playing field would mean obeying the same rules and regulations.

Sounds like a great way to turn trading partners intoโ€ฆ not-trading non-partners.

What a time to be alive ๐Ÿ™ƒ

Just ask yourself who benefits from any of this and you know where these ideas come from.

Oh, I know. Itโ€™s blindingly obvious.

And in return you will comply to the level playing field rules when it comes to your digital services, right?

[โ€“] Kirp123@lemmy.world 35 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

What? No. And if you threaten to regulate their tech giants they will fund extremists in your countries or threaten you with even higher tariffs.

shhhh now go play with this LLM thatโ€™s harvesting all of your data and conversations ๐Ÿฅฐ

What a great way to talk to your partners

Threatening is always a winning strategy lol. Countries are already cancelling deals with US. I am sure comments like this will make them reconsider.

[โ€“] inclementimmigrant@lemmy.world 10 points 12 hours ago

Well I'm sure Brazil is happy with this dumbass statement.

Or what, you'll add more import taxes that will get passed on to the consumer?

Cool.

Fuck them :)

Don't be competitive. We really don't believe in that in the US. We believe in excluding competitors since that is easier than innovating.

fuck. off. we don't NEED you!

[โ€“] starlinguk@lemmy.world 3 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Shame the EU thinks it does.

[โ€“] Nico_198X@europe.pub 1 points 11 hours ago

we'll see. if i can trust the EU for anything, it's being bureaucratically obtuse and using that for its advantage. lets give it time.

Make a level playing field for non-Americans first.

America third, Europe first!
