Re: Breaking News
No the token troop gesture wasn't a massive move.
The only way to treat a bully is to stand up to them. Trump despises weakness and will exploit it relentlessly.
Already the dollar has weakened because of the tariff threat. If the EU reciprocate and also refuse the EU US trade deal that will impact the bond markets and that is something that is likely to reel Trump in. We've seen before that TACO when he faces economic pressure.
This is not the time to waver but to stand firm and ensure the European response is not fragmented and diluted.
By the way I don't think calmly reminding Trump that collectively the Free World has retaliatory options is talking big; on the contrary, I regard it as statesmanship.
