Trump has apparently signed a trade deal with the EU.

Trump and the President of the EU held a signing ceremony in Scotland today or yesterday. Trump is claiming it is the biggest trade deal ever signed. I don't know if that is true or bloviating. We'll wait and see how it works out. The EU was very anxious to sign a deal, so it might be significant. It sounds like a lot of tariff barriers are coming down and Europe has pledged to buy a lot of oil and gas from the U.S.

Yes, the Scotland trip was about finalizing a deal that has been in progress for longer than the EU wanted people to see. The EU cannot do anything significant within a mere 48 hour period. MSM "shock" over the accomplishment is just more fakery, they are struggling to regain relevancy without ever coming out and admitting their steadfast disinformation role or really relenting in their opposition. They've immediately turned to paint the accomplishment with a negative spin.

There is an energy drought in Europe after dismantling its power infrastructure in favor of a fantasy energy policy which deluded them into spurning Russia over Ukraine. The overconfidence has burned them, leaving few alternatives than to import fuels from halfway around the globe to make up some of the shortfall.

According to the Daily Mail, Trump is trying to dismantle the EU. According to the Mail, a document has leaked which outlines Trump's plans to backdoor negotiate with Hungary, Poland Italy and Austria to persuade them to pull out of the EU Brexit-style, and sign trade agreements with the U.S. instead. I have no idea whether it is true or not, but it would be just Trump's style to attempt this. I think he was trying to get special agreements with the UK in his first term, but Starmer's election has basically done away with much of that and sent it back to zero. Italy and Hungary are definitely in Trump's court, but not so sure about Austria and Poland. They seem to vacillate between camps as far as Populism goes. I think Greece would be a candidate as well, especially if Italy goes Trump's way.

Very good @galty. I can see why the EU and perhaps the UK governments don't want their people to see such things.. One of the bad things about Socialism is that the people under it get so used to being cared for that they forget how to take care of their own needs. I suspect that that is something that is planned by many of the so-called leaders. Socialism exists in the EU in large part because the U.S. has been the military protector of the continent since WWII. If the European nations had to maintain their own military forces, Socialist programs would be unaffordable.

I had forgotten that most of the UK is in the Western Hemisphere, everything west of Greenwich. I don't remember knowing about Portugal. Japan, Korea, and Taiwan are different cases. They, along with the Philippines, are the protectors of our interests in the Pacific and we effectively disarmed Japan after WWII. The Philippines were once an American colony
