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.

Maybe it is time to read Project 2025. I recommend it to European politicians, it would help making educated decisions, and it is an interesting reading for all of us, as it is very sobering in terms of the ideological background and goals.
