Too naive
Let's negotiate what the aggressor wants, in order to stop the aggression.
this is the reason why we dont negotiate with terrorists. There should be no gain by bullying

Rules (2024-08-30)
- This is an English-language community. Comments should be in English. Posts can link to non-English news sources when providing a full-text translation in the post description. Automated translations are fine, as long as they don't overly distort the content.
- No links to misinformation or commercial advertising. When you post outdated/historic articles, add the year of publication to the post title. Infographics must include a source and a year of creation; if possible, also provide a link to the source.
- Be kind to each other, and argue in good faith. Don't post direct insults nor disrespectful and condescending comments. Don't troll nor incite hatred. Don't look for novel argumentation strategies at Wikipedia's List of fallacies.
- No bigotry, sexism, racism, antisemitism, islamophobia, dehumanization of minorities, or glorification of National Socialism.
- Be the signal, not the noise: Strive to post insightful comments. Add "/s" when you're being sarcastic (and don't use it to break rule no. 3).
- If you link to paywalled information, please provide also a link to a freely available archived version. Alternatively, try to find a different source.
- Light-hearted content, memes, and posts about your European everyday belong in [email protected]. (They're cool, you should subscribe there too!)
- Don't evade bans. If we notice ban evasion, that will result in a permanent ban for all the accounts we can associate with you.
- No posts linking to speculative reporting about ongoing events with unclear backgrounds. Please wait at least 12 hours. (E.g., do not post breathless reporting on an ongoing terror attack.)
(This list may get expanded when necessary.)
We will use some leeway to decide whether to remove a comment.
If need be, there are also bans: 3 days for lighter offenses, 14 days for bigger offenses, and permanent bans for people who don't show any willingness to participate productively. If we think the ban reason is obvious, we may not specifically write to you.
If you want to protest a removal or ban, feel free to write privately to the mods: @[email protected], @[email protected], or @[email protected].

MODERATORS
We, in Europe absolutely negotiate with terrorists in order to save our citizens lifes. (Just as it happened many times with the pirates in Somalia, and other parts of the world).
It's just the americans who are too cheap to save their citizens, and try to justify it with this stupid policy
americans who are too cheap
or too obsessed with "power"
A missed opportunity.
Absolutely. On the other hand this shenanigans put pressure on our economy and we need to get back on track and prepare for the next round of Trumps grifter moves.
This move is a method to counter sane washing of the US regime. When the negotiations fail, the EU is "forced" by Trumpist irrationality to act. The countertarriffs couldn't as easily be framed as "attack on the US".
Giving trump and couch fucker more excuses to make fun of us.
I wonder what will the eu finally do after two years of pauses, projects, meetings and letters. Probably shit the bed when italy becomes second hungary and germans finally get their far right government. Then theyβll tell us to vote harder or something.
Asked why the Commission would not retaliate against the remaining tariffs, which are nevertheless expected to hurt the EU's export-oriented economy, a spokesperson said the top priority was to find a compromise with Washington
"We've pressed the pause button to allow space for negotiations. Yes, the US steel and aluminum tariffs are now in place, not just against us, but against the entire world. And yes, the car tariffs are in place," the spokesperson, Olof Gill, said.
"But we're not going to take further steps because we want to leave space for negotiations," he added. "We want to talk to our American counterparts."
I thought they had a reasonable approach until this part. They need to match the tariffs imposed by Trump. Otherwise he'll see that as a sign of weakness and mob the floor with them in the "negotiations". You all saw what was done to Ukraine and Zelensky.
At least the stock market is gonna keep going up again until the next escalation or if negotiations fail.
Already dropping again. So not even until then...
Of course it is. The only thing worse than arbitrary tariffs are unpredictable tariffs. Right now no one can plan their business more than one week in advance and even that feels like gambling.
My portfolio was green when OBEX closed .
Not by much and itβs probably red again tomorrow but one can hope
DJ USA -3,90%
But OMXS was up today, so it'll go down tomorrow I expect.
