Educate yourself: "EU starts a trade war. I predict they lose. " The USA currently has a $184 billion / year trade deficit with the EU. Bring it on. wattsupwiththat.com EU Tells Trump: No Paris Climate Deal, No Free Trade Dave Keating , CONTRIBUTOR FEB 8, 2018 When Donald Trump took office last year, the assumption was that the transatlantic trade and investment partnership was dead. The controversial free trade deal between the EU and the U.S., known as TTIP, was already years in development and was a big focus in Europe, particularly with left-wing protesters who said the EU would necessarily have to lower its environmental, health and safety standards to American levels. When Trump was elected on an anti-free-trade platform in 2016, these activists found themselves in the uncomfortable position of being on the same side as the new U.S. president. … It is in this context that France’s foreign affairs minister Jean-Baptiste Lemoyne told the French Parliament last week that his country will insist that TTIP never be revived if Trump carries through on his promise to leave the Paris Agreement. “One of our main demands is that any country who signs a trade agreement with EU should implement the Paris Agreement on the ground,” Lemoyne said. “No Paris Agreement, no trade agreement. The U.S. knows what to expect.” HT:DMaA
