A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

To be fair, the EU has some pretty insane tariffs on everyone outside the EU.
Mmm... Orangutan starts throwing shtuff at all the other apes and then complains when they don't want to hang out with him any more
What a ferkin ashole
Oh my gosh, this is so fucked up.
welp, orange donvict did promote his platform as "America First!".
The EU was formed for America First!
Someone fucking ball gag this rapist to shut him up.
Kinky.
The EU was formed to screw the US... THE EU WAS FORMED TO SCREW THE US?! Bruh dude is possibly channeling Hitler and Stalin simultaneously. That's the only thing that makes sense. Or he's terminally dumb. One of the two.
Definitely channeling Putin.
terminally dumb
This one
I think it's both
I believe the German government holds the information about the loans/payments from Russia, through Cyprus, to Deutsche Bank and then to the orange stain. The EU is better prepared than the Government of Putin. Game on motherfuckers and the US consumers better be ready to buy shitty Russian built Lada's.
The USA was formed to screw Great Britain. What goes around comes around.
Trump’s tariffs: Swinging a 25% hammer while shouting, “They started it!”—peak trade war theatrics.
😺😺😺😺
Do it you pussy! Come on! DO IT!
He's not completely wrong. One of the benefits EU provides is better bargaining power for its members against countries like the US.
Sanctions or tariffs on any individual EU country would likely lead to collective response.
2 sides to that coin. You also only need presence/trade deal once and you've access to a very large market as a whole all at once. In the end, everyone loses with throttled trade for no other reason than "I don't like them!!" Transatlantic trade has been very beneficial for both sides of the pond for many many decades...
Almost like a certain military alliance this asshole wants out of. Hmmm...
Maybe replace them with Ukraine. I here they have great drone technology.
Ok so to recap: stuff made in Mexico? Tariffs! Stuff made in Canada? Tariffs! Stuff made in the EU? Tariffs! Stuff made in China? Tariffs!
Is he jealous of the European 20-25% VAT?
Please EU, don't retaliate on this. If the US put tariffs on everything from everywhere, then it's just masochism and we should let them enjoy the suffering
Stuff made in China? Tariffs!
Unless China considers it important. If so, they'll just not send it.
Nah, do retaliate. Because the only thing the morons over here understand is “uh oh, line go down”.
As an European I don't want to pay extra taxes on American stuff just because their citizens voted someone with dementia as a president
But then you export less stuff, hurting your economy, while the US still exports just as much to you, so their economy does better. The counter tariffs are to make it less appealing for you to buy, and US exports go down.
In the end, everyone loses, but it needs to hurt them back to make them realize that.
Never thought the phrase "Critics, including [experts and/or politics], warn this may harm US economy" would ever be as sad and repetitive
God, I hate this fascist cunt.
Time for Ukraine to join the EU quickly. Tariff his precious minerals.
Orange fuckwit.
I still hope Zelenskyy is coming here Friday to announce that they decided to take the deal from Germany, and Zelenskyy ends the press conference with a double bird for Trump. It won’t happen but man I would love Zelenskyy even more if he did.
You never know, he just might
We're trying!
Try harder. EU takes longer to make a decision than a sloth on ketamine
sloth on ketamine
Elon?
