Good luck with that. I hope the EU is not stupid enough to stop this initiative. This would not be happening if it was not for the US dummy in chief. The EU was looking to do this for a while, but where taking its time until recent events.

they won't stop it

the US was really, really foolish to crystalise the risk by locking out those judges

prior to that it was just a theoretical people were yelling about

now it's real, and there's a continent of hungry businesses lobbying for resources to be diverted domestically, instead of being sent to the US

and that's the EU's bread and butter

Do you think the Trump admin thinks about the consequences of their decisions for more than 5 minutes into the future?

They're all about making a quick buck via scams, insider trading and rug pulls, future consequences be damned. Sometimes they make a good call when they listen to what their corporate lobbyists say.

How can you be so confrontational and still want people to give you business and data? I really don't envy the diplomats' job at the moment.

Most 'diplomats' of the new USA are just grifters like Witkoff or Kushner. Real estate people cosplaying diplomats.

The US as the world has known it is gone
