European Union releases 10-page list of potential targets for retaliatory tariffs on U.S. products

The European Union on Friday made public a 10-page list of American products that are potential targets for retaliation if President Trump refuses to exempt the allied bloc from his new tariffs on steel and aluminum imports.

The list offered the most detailed glimpse to date of the likely targets for E.U. action, including products selected for maximum political impact in the United States. Among them: bourbon, a specialty of Kentucky, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s home state; cranberries, which are grown in House Speaker Paul D. Ryan’s native Wisconsin; orange juice from Florida; and tobacco from North Carolina. Florida and North Carolina are considered political swing states with key electoral votes.

“It’s pretty clear they’re trying to wake up American legislators, who are the only ones in government who can influence the president on this issue,” said Chad Bown, a trade expert at the Peterson Institute for International Economics.

Russians at this point are preferable to America whose power is waning by the day. Everyone in Europe wishes you would stay on your side of the ocean.

As an American I wholeheartedly agree that not a cent of tax payer money should support the defense of Europeans.

Good luck!

So your idea of strategy would be to cede control of all of Europe to the Russians to 'show Europe' Where would that lead the US. Without Europe, China and Russia could shut the US down for good.
