US President Donald Trump has threatened to slap higher tariffs on European goods if the EU misses a July 4 deadline to approve a trade deal with Washington.
I mean, the choice is basically between 15% tarrifs in the US and 0% in the EU, or more in both. Both hurt the EU, but the latter hurts the EU more - it just also hurts the US more.

I’d prefer the latter. Europe must grow more sovereign, and the US becoming more dependent on us would help.
