The EU should cut off all trade with US.

    Having cut off energy supplies from Russia, the EU is now entirely at the mercy of the US.

    Then the EU could start boycotting US products where possible. It will start hitting here.

    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?

    Isn't Spain trying to make a deal with China? and they'll probably get a better deal than they would have gotten from Trump, what fucked up times we live in that we go to the Chinese for better trade deals...
