"Trump loves the spectacle of threatening tariffs. It makes him feel strong. But he’s shooting himself in the foot.
So if Europe really wants to fix the problem, it’s time for the big guns. Europe accounts for almost 20% of trade with the US. If they cut off US companies’ access to their 450 million customers it would inflict real pain.
Europe’s financial 'bazooka' is the leverage that will beat out rhetoric, every time."
