Which way, EU?

Could be a pretty big turning point. The writing is on the wall for the US Empire, will the EU read it correctly, or go down with the ship?

Here we go. It was foretold. Now let's see what happens. This could be the moment where Europe gives the US a wedgie.

The Trump administration has no idea what negotiations with the EU actually entail. I don't expect this to lead to anything substantial and since it's obvious that the US would not feel bound by any "deal" this will mainly be an exercise in diplomacy.
