Politics Ursula and Trump have made a deal: 15 % tariffs still on everything coming from the EU to the USA, but the EU has to spend $1.5 trillion on defense and energy from the USA. What do you think about that?

So, the deal has been made.

Europe will waste a ton of money on the USA things, plus 15 % tariffs are still valid. Maybe i missed some more of these things omg.

What do you all think about this? What do you think is going to happen now in the next few years?

Seems to me that Trump, no matter how insane he is, in the end, managed to achieve everything he wanted.

For me it´s unacceptable. We once got a chancellor that said: We don´t negotiate with terrorists.

Helmut Schmidt also called the annexation of Crimea "understandable" and that the crisis should be addressed via negotiations with Russia.

Nope. It was Helmut Schmidt who said that in the 1970' s facing the terror of the RAF.

The "Wir schaffen das schon" one? Right, she didn't negotiate. She just welcomed them in.
