Europe feels emboldened ; entering into this arena ( war in the Middle East ) has reduced any leverage the US held strategically over its trading partners .

It’s a clusterf*ck !

You can’t negotiate on all fronts whilst attempting to control interest rates/inflation/ geopolitics/internal strife and exert leverage .

It’s time for a few people from the administration to fall on their swords .

Trump spent his pennies. He’s lost the leverage the US had. Lame duck. It will be fascinating watching Vance and Rubio twist themselves in circles positioning for endorsement, when it’s obvious Trump will shit on them. As he must be the greatest, and they must fail.

Germany, your terms to refuse trade with the US are acceptable. Call us when you change your mind.

Meanwhile the e.u continues to import energy from Russia while watching them murder millions of Ukrainians.

Effective IMMEDIATELY, I have ordered the United States Development Finance Corporation (DFC) to provide, at a very reasonable price, political risk insurance and guarantees for the Financial Security of ALL Maritime Trade, especially Energy, traveling through the Gulf. This will be available to all Shipping Lines. If necessary, the United States Navy will begin escorting tankers through the Strait of Hormuz, as soon as possible. No matter what, the United States will ensure the FREE FLOW of ENERGY to the WORLD. The United States’ ECONOMIC and MILITARY MIGHT is the GREATEST ON EARTH — More actions to come. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP
