In response to the imposition of new, unjustified US tariffs on EU steel and aluminium imports, the Commission has launched swift and proportionate countermeasures on US imports into the EU.

If its just tariffs on consumer goods yeah, but they could get creative and pull the plug on some legal frameworks that allow US companies to siphon money from EU citizens. You could for example partially suspend patent protection for US patents. Legalize cracking US DRM on software and media. Lots of options…
I don’t think pulling down the legal framework of one of our “allies” is a good way to ever repair the relation. We don’t need to try and stoop lower than them, we just need to react fairly while building up our own economy so we are less depended on them. I think that’s the way.
Nah this is the perfect chance to get rid of these horribly damaging laws that have kept us from achieving genuinely good technological progress. They were forced on us by the US under the threat of tariffs. It would be reasonable and poetic for these laws to be buried under exactly these conditions.
How’s that going for the Democratic party? USA has deranged lunatics at the helm. Fuck them up by any means.
Fuck I won’t even be mad if a European billionaire hired an assassin to take care of Musk.
Enough of this dystopia, let’s have some Ludlum/Forsyth thriller, as a treat.
