The fact that Trump might be one of the main catalysts for a United Europe is insane to me

[ChangesOfTomorrow]

Honestly, this might be the best opportunity we've had in decades, let's not waste it

As a business owner, the biggest upside is that US tariffs should push the EU to finally fix its internal market—remove barriers and streamline cross-border trade.

One important point was not mentioned. The EU will invest large sums in weapons production, which means no weapons purchases from the US.

A hug to all of Europe from Spain! It's a pleasure to see European unity!

Now that the markets has grasp that Trump is serious about tariffs, it’s going to hit hard. If the US cuts itself off from global trade, that isolationism is going to send shockwaves. Investors have already pulled money out of the US Stock market and moved them over to EU Stock exchange…much more value when US Stocks were on a premium because of the growth potential. Now EU looks attractive because of its higher floors. It’ll be awhile to ride out this storm.

Iran: "These tariffs make no sense."
China: "Shhh. Don't interrupt your enemy while he's making a mistake."

The less we have to do with the USA, the better for our mental health.

I (as a European) have also participated in Liberation day. I have liberated myself from Facebook, Paypal Amazon, LinkedIn, eBay, Dropbox, , Uber, Google (partially) ... so Liberation Week (any maybe Month) is still ongoing

[andreaberetta]

It won't be great economically speaking but the EU has always strenghtened in period of crysis, like after Brexit and during Covid. The best thing that Trump will bring is an increase of pro-EU sentiments between europeans.

He put tarriffs on an island with 0 population.
The man is insane.

Invest in Europe. Buy Euros. Seek European products. This is the only way forward.

Germany is considering retrieving 37% of their Gold reserves, about 1236 tonnes, currently held in New York federal reserve, because of the increased risk of being stolen by the US government, following the lift of the debt ceiling and reduced abilities of obtaining new loans abroad, due to Trumps financial chaos. 🙄

As a European, I think the kicks we got from Russia and TRUMP are going to be a very good incentive to reform our stiff and old systems and thinking. I am pleasantly surprised how my own country has moved from a fearful pacifist into a much more principled nation ready to fight for democratic values and support the European coherence.

"Trump-onomics" : the idea of knowing how to manage the largest economy, but instead you crash it and with that you also cause major global instability

[haawkward]

OMG, it's the first time I've seen anyone make the sponsor/ads section less loud than the actual video. You guys keep impressing me with your good work and professionalism, plus your care for your audience. Another example is how you started spelling the intro slower so we non-brits could understand what you were saying hehe, thank you!

Let's not forget the US businesses can't survive without EU customers

[chadeller]

80 years to build, 80 days to destroy

Don't forget the defence industry too. Since USA is an unreliable ally, EU invests billions to it's own defense industry creating massive opportunities.
