When someone starts throwing out threats, that means they are totally in control of the situation.

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

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

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

What a time to be alive ๐Ÿ™ƒ

The EU recently agreed to pay 1500 milliard in gifts to the USA. The bed is made.

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

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

Said by a dumb as fuck republican who doesn't understand how cooked the US is because of him and the other Nazis.

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

[โ€“] Kirp123@lemmy.world 37 points 17 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

thanks dad, you're the best!

What a great way to talk to your partners

[โ€“] npdean@lemmy.today 40 points 17 hours ago

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

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

Cool.

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

[โ€“] xyro@lemmy.ca 29 points 18 hours ago

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 14 hours ago (1 children)

Shame the EU thinks it does.

[โ€“] Nico_198X@europe.pub 2 points 13 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!

[โ€“] bennieandthez@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

american farmers are literally the most subsidized in the world

and rural areas the sole reason behind propping up conservative politicians all over the wolrd in terms of voting numbers.
