    Shockingly, the American president does not have jurisdiction over the eu. I mean, they know this, they it’s more political hot air for nothing, and we give them the attention they want for it.

      They don’t have jurisdiction. But they have other things that make them very important to the EU which can be leveraged.

        Yeah, let’s do a trade war to save Google’s monopoly! That’s definitely in everyone’s interest!

          Who said anything about trade war? And who said anything about everyone’s interest? That’s exactly the point, it’s not in anyone’s interest except American corporations. Ie the only interest that matters in the US.
