Why are European governments angry at Trump? No. It is not tariffs. Trump stopped the Inflation Reduction Act gravy train. They are sour, especially the Germans who were facing an energy crisis and were de-industrializing by sending factories to the US.

Germany was favoring the US over China which explains why Anallena Baerbock, Germany Foreign Affairs Minister, was antagonizing the Chinese, like saying: Hey we don't need you. We have Uncle Biden

But the causes that chased industry out of Germany are still there. “Europe is increasingly suffering from overregulation, slow and bureaucratic approval procedures and, above all, high costs for most production factors,” said BASF CEO Michael Heinz

Now Germany has its equivalent of the Biden largesse. Freeing up €500bn (£420bn) for German defense and infrastructure – fixing things like bridges and roads, etc.
France and the UK cannot launch their own rearmament as Germany does, thus they still have to deal away with the tariffs.
