🌊Every surfer knows you need to ride the wave — not fight it.
Eight months in, Europe is still struggling to craft a coherent response to Trumponomics. The way forward: stay calm, stay united, and reform.

The EU ceded far less than Japan, Malaysia, Cambodia & others in new US trade deals — but why Asia accepted such strict terms is unclear. Brussels should be wary if Washington brings similar demands to Europe, says @agathedemarais in @foreignpolicy

For the EU, the best response to a mercurial US president is to keep calm & carry on. It should adopt a self-help mindset—resisting the urge to impose retaliatory measures that could damage EU economies & holding the bloc together. #HablamosDeEuropa

🗞️The US request that the EU impose 100% tariffs on China and India is "the Trump administration saying they won’t be moving forward with sanctions on Russia, because they know that the EU is not going to be imposing such tariffs”, says @AgatheDemarais.
