There is a certain irony in the timing all things considered. President Trump has given the EU until July 4, 2026, to fulfill the trade agreement previously negotiated (ie. the Turnberry Agreement) or 25% tariffs on EU automobiles will be triggered.
(Via Truth Social) – “I had a great call with The President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen. We discussed many topics, including that we are completely united that Iran can never have a Nuclear Weapon. We agreed that a regime that kills its own people cannot control a bomb that can kill millions. I’ve been waiting patiently for the EU to fulfill their side of the Historic Trade Deal we agreed in Turnberry, Scotland, the largest Trade Deal, ever! A promise was made that the EU would deliver their side of the Deal and, as per Agreement, cut their Tariffs to ZERO! I agreed to give her until our Country’s 250th Birthday or, unfortunately, their Tariffs would immediately jump to much higher levels. Thank you for your attention to this matter.” ~ President DONALD J. TRUMP
U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer recently spoke directly about what was creating this problem. His interview and explanation in detail is below (MUST WATCH):
7/4/2026 … Outstanding Mr. President !
Turning the screws, and picking such an conspicuously important holiday.
Europe has always resented us for a host of reasons, least of which was for upsetting the Old Order by declaring that our rights originated with our Creator and not from governments formed by Men.
Talking about tariffs, this doesn’t sound good.

Sundance nails it.
Yes they are focused on next steps alright…. Next step to find a way to suckle on the US economy… BTW… if we are supplying our own oil at a glowbull market price why are our prices so high..? Could it be we are subsidizing the EU fuel cost… I’m sick of being the worlds money tree..
Speaks much of one’s character in consuming other’s wealth instead of learning how to cultivate their own.
PDJT better fix the price of gas before the mid-terms or he may get crushed. It was over $5.50 a gallon in St, Petersburg Fl today and will probably keep going up after the fighting continued in Iran today.
What fighting? Also, would you prefer to have $7 a gallon if DJT didn’t initiate his economic policies? Have some patience.
Delay and pray to their deep state idols fate will flip the USA once again into their cash cow.
As USTR Greer mentioned, they’ve had a long time to deal with this, and they’ve put in a lot of language that still needs to be negotiated. Makes you think the EU is slow-walking this thing.
Dithering as such snobs can be in thinking they could succeed.
The economic adjustments will continue until trade balances improve.
I see an occasional Rivian’s on the road, and more Tesla’s….
