Juncker responds to Trump's trade tariffs: 'We can also do stupid'
European Commission chief Jean-Claude Juncker has vowed to fight back against US President Donald Trump's threat of a 25% tariff on steel and 10% on aluminium imports.
"So now we will also impose import tariffs. This is basically a stupid process, the fact that we have to do this. But we have to do it. We will now impose tariffs on motorcycles, Harley Davidson, on blue jeans, Levis, on Bourbon. We can also do stupid. We also have to be this stupid," he said in Hamburg on Friday evening.
And so it begins. The cheers of the US steel makers will soon be drowned out by the yelps of the bourbon distilleries and in the end nobody wins.
I see this as a good thing, Harley Davidson is supposed to be American made anyway, we have plenty of other alcoholic drinks, levis have gotten cheaply made anyway, China could make better quality.
It’s all about Americans being treaded fairly in these trade deals, don’t you want that for your fellow Americans?
