      This is also why all the fucking electronics companies in the EU only going through american distributers and having their own damn webshops from and EU company ship from the US is going to cripple one of or most important industries when shit hits the fan. Looking at you STM, Nordic, and uBlox!

      We have 3 large distributers in Europe: UK, Poland, and international (UK and Belgium) and yet only a tiny tiny subset of older parts are sold from there while the american distributors are packed full.

      It’s the other way around, he is putting tariffs on American imports, so it will be harder for us to sell to USA.

        I’m not interested in doing business with America until they can get their shit together.

        Honestly, I’ve been in favor of a full embargo since this whole ‘trade-war’ bullshit kicked off. Strengthen trade with other nations while showing America they don’t control the global economy.

          Fine, I personally have a near total boycott on American goods and services myself, doesn’t change the fact that tariffs are not about us buying stuff from USA.

        So the good jam and flavored dates will be twice as expensive. Great …
