    Don’t fool yourself. You’re just going to bend over backwards like all the times in history, when US comes knocking. But do tell us how you’re going to boycott them again.

      There is nothing to do with the goods that are supposed to be bought, definitely at the price they sell - and the investments are supposed to be made voluntarily by the private sector.

      Nobody’s going to do it. There’s no incentive mechanism and no enforcement mechanism except warm vapour out of politicians’ mouths.

      Realistically about 30% of this is maybe going to happen.

      Also, what “all times in history” are you referring to? I doubt you have an overview of all trade disputes between the US and EU, and their outcomes.
