Does the US president have his way on the EU, or do you just get more “solidarity” smoke and mirrors?
Brussels “Bent by the knee” Before US President Donald Trump – for example, an official of the White House described the recent trade agreement with rates, massive investments in the American economy and a promise to buy American energy.
It is the kind of humiliation ritual for which Trump should normally pay. Instead, he demanded that the EU was the one who left billions in front of him on the night table before he returned the state. And they did. Whether it seemed like that at least in the first instance. Because looking at Trump cash from the EU felt like one of those videos in which the next part suddenly asks for a credit card to unlock the pixelated image.
But Trump himself sounds like he is starting to entertain the possibility he has had through the EU. A bit like an increasing number of Europeans feel on a almost daily basis.
What was the first indication? It should have been the fact that the only one there is to do “company” On behalf of the EU, not -selected Chief Eurercaat and chairman of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen. He entered that meeting as a typical American tourist in the summer of Europe, not knowing that everything that closes and leaves legitimate, leaving the pick pockets and scammers.
Trump thought he had provided $ 600 billion in European investments for the US economy. That would be a promise to increase the EU purchase of too expensive American gas to replace the much cheaper Russian things that Trump and Biden have had them dumped – even if Canada looks to offer the EU A more competitive deal Gas. There was also a promise to buy American weapons, to set a table for two, although the conflict in Ukraine is the perfect pretext for the EU to fill the faces of its own military industrial complex with taxpayers.
The wind on which Trump’s agreement was written with the EU was hardly distributed when EU officials already started to manage expectations. “It is not something that the EU, as a government agency, can guarantee – it is something based on the intention of private companies,” A senior EU officer saidAccording to Euronews. In response, Trump told CNBC that if they do not follow the foreign investment, “Then they pay rates of 35%,” Which means that Americans would pay it on European input they decide to buy instead of domestic alternatives.
If Trump really counts on eating on the EU, then he might find it a lot if filling himself in a Chinese buffet: filling in theory, but in practice so completely unsatisfactory that you eventually have to swing through McDonalds for a hamburger. The current strategy of the Eurocrats with Trump is classic diplomatic theater: promises $ 600 billion in American investments – but of whom exactly?
Brussels does not write checks. Are they planning to control the private sector to invest in America? What should that look like? Queen Ursula who demands that European CEOs go to Maga?
But Queen Ursula is used to making royal proclamations and to give them up as a gospel for a whole group of 27 countries. Her style of top-down decision-making is a pattern that extends to earlier controversies.
Do you remember the Covid Jab contracts? She personally mediated them with a large pharmaceutical behind closed doors, with all the transparency of a Vatican conclave. Or the EU media prohibitions, published from high and simple rubber stamped by civil servants sweating bullets of group pressure-other they are treated as Hungarian Prime Minister and Brussels critic Viktor Orban, and have to fight with jokes playing the anti-fascist folk song “Hello beautiful” When he comes up to speak in official procedures. Or maybe be shot up Such as Euroskeptic Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico in a “Politically motivated” attack.

All real decisions are picked up in the committee’s kitchen and served on chosen officials. To be honest, they get a choice: swallow or choke. And so far that has worked well for Queen Ursula. So it is hardly a surprise that Trump would assume she can skip “Transatlantic solidarity” And deliver billions in the European private sector in cash directly at the door of America in the European private sector. And to be honest, his team probably thinks that that kind of authoritarian central planning is how the EU works. So from their perspective that is a function, in this rare case, not a bug.
The problem is that Queen Ursula is common “solidarity” The spell seems to be a short circuit this time. French and Italian Primeiers who would already do her on the side of the side of a drunk aunt at Thanksgiving. They require answers about how she has negotiated a deal in which EU export is beaten with a rate of 15%, while the American exports to Europe-Reducose-free rate, as they own the place. French Prime Minister François Bayrou called it one “Dark day of submission.” (That is entry in the geopolitical sense, not the Fifty Shades of Gray One, although honestly, it starts to fade.) Even the German Chancellor, Friedrich Merz, who originally sounded jazzed about the deal, is now worn as if it is something he tries to scrape his shoe. It seems that someone has finally asked the angry call from German industry, asking, “WTF, Friedrich?”
And then there is Orban, who wonders aloud whether Queen Ursula has taken this entire deal from her royal. No joke. Because what the European leader, other than a non -elected, will stand and explain for European voters, “Yes, I would like to subsidize the American economy, plus Raytheon and Lockheed! And do you have even more expensive fuel that we can pursue while we are busy?”
It already looks like this was all just a performance. Say what Trump wants to hear, let him walk away that he scored, and then stole until he is distracted by someone else’s lunch.
Trump may have come home to think that he got a European Symphony, but so far he only has Queen Ursula a different tone deaf song that absolutely nobody asked.
