It is the first time that the US targets a select number of EU countries, rather than the EU as a whole. This makes it highly vulnerable to court challenges and at the WTO, unless there is a declared national security emergency because of a direct threat from those target countries (of course beyond a post on TruthSocial).
they declared canada a threat due to miniscule amounts of fent going over the border in their direction. The US Supreme court, shortly before coming out with a ruling on whether the tariffs are legal or not, decided to just shelve that decision for an indefinite amount of time in the future. I don’t think the USA gives a flying fuck about your implied rules / order. This administration will tariff whoever they want, and the courts will approve it because the supreme court is controlled by the administration. Just like how they’ll let ICE shoot people, and then refuse to investigate it, stating their officers have immunity.
They’re likely intentionally targeting only ‘some’ EU members, because that’ll help them drive wedges between EU members and break up that block. They won’t give a fuck about any WTO shit, Trump and them actively want to see the EU broken apart and claim all this shit is in the interest of US national security.
I mean, if you want to continue dreaming like the USA makes sense / is rational at this stage, go ahead. I just dont think its that practical.

I think the WTO is MIA, I haven’t heard a peep from them since the beginning of all this…

It targets nearly all of economic powerhouses though. It will have consequences for America.
