Truth is though, it's all bullshit.
As a Euro Peon, say I wanna swap the fron end out of my shit-handling Harley Not-a-Sportster, and put in something like a Kwacker ZXR6 or Yam R6, I can see them on ebay in the land of opportunity, cheap as chips.
Forks, yokes (or should I say, Triple Treeeessss ) calipers, discs and wheels.
So, used.... BUTT.... then to import into the EU, I have to have an allocated item number for the import duty, add the shipping cost, then add 21% to the lot.
Makes it F big bucks, let alone for used, kit.
All taxation is theft.

2 American opinions covering the same deal. LOL How could they be so different!?

Trump desperately needed a win this weekend, to take everyone's minds off the Jeffrey Epstein debacle. And the headlines about his trade deal with the EU gave him what he wanted. But the one-page "framework agreement," negotiated in just an hour, left many details for later, and the details contradicted some of Trump's boasts.

The optics were classic Trump. The meeting was not on neutral ground. The EU's chief, Ursula von der Leyen, came and paid homage to Trump at his Scottish golf club in Turnberry, no less. She was depicted as desperate to finish negotiations against Trump's artificial deadline for punitive tariffs to be imposed this Friday, August 1.

The main points of the headline deal that Trump announced suggested that the EU had given up nearly everything and Trump almost nothing. EU member nations will be hit with a new baseline tariff of 15 percent, up from 10 percent. U.S. exports to the EU will be tariff-free. The EU agrees to buy all kinds of stuff from the U.S., including $750 billion of energy products and "vast amounts" of military equipment, invest $600 billion in the U.S., and open EU markets to U.S. exports with zero tariffs. And von der Leyen conceded what EU officials had long denied, that U.S.-EU trade relations needed "rebalancing."

When Trump threatened high tariffs in April, stock markets plummeted. Critics claimed Trump was wrecking the economy, and analysts raised fears of a recession this year.

Three months later, the Nasdaq and S&P 500 have set multiple record highs, job growth is strong and forecasters expect a healthy growth in gross domestic product when the second quarter number is released this week.

I've heard few critics, save perhaps comedian Bill Maher, acknowledge that tariffs functioned as excellent leverage to persuade countries to agree to more favorable trade terms with the U.S.

Many of those critics underestimated the president's negotiation skills. The Financial Times reported that one European ambassador remarked, "Trump worked out exactly where our pain threshold is."

He's turned out to be more of a centrist seeing from both sides.

he was honest about the dinner with Ritchie and Trump.

2 American opinions covering the same deal. LOL How could they be so different!?

Which one do you think is accurate?

The EU has acknowledged that it lacks the authority to enforce some of these commitments

"the funds would come solely from private companies, over which Brussels has no control"

And now we have a %15 import tax added to EU pharmaceuticals, which makes up over half of US pharma imports.

"EU-US trade deal could add up to $19 billion in pharma industry costs, analysts say"

They're both opinions, which direction to you lean on the deal being a "great deal".
