Without explicitly naming the EU, yesterday Mr Trump threatened to impose fresh tariffs on countries with regulations that sought to “harm” American technology, just days after both sides released details of a hard-fought transatlantic trade deal.

I’d they hadn’t been such weak assed capitulating buckets of shame on the “trade deal” they would have been in a stronger negotiating position on this. Now the bully sees them as weak and will just keep coming back for more.
