If the EU boycotts the US, then it's going to be an inconvenience for the US at best. If the US cuts off LNG supply, then the EU economy will crash overnight. The US has Europe bent over a barrel now.

    It starts effecting the people though, the voters that voted for Trump and his allies. If people that supported them start losing their income because of the their policies, they will notice. It doesn’t have to be government sanctioned. It can be “grass roots” boycotting.

    Do you genuinely think Trump gives a fuck at this point? He just started a major war with Iran which none of his base wanted, and you really think he's gonna be worried about economic impact of fucking the EU over?
