Friendly reminder of why do we have to buy European: Trump set to announce reciprocal tariffs on US trading partners

www.euronews.com Trump set to announce reciprocal tariffs on US trading partners

"TODAY IS THE BIG ONE: RECIPROCAL TARIFFS!!!" Trump posted on his social media site, Truth Social. "MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!"

Trump has said that he is going to impose reciprocal tariffs... and he already considers European VAT a tariff. So we,d better start finding substitutes from Europe mainly to product and services from the USA..

Substitutes for what exactly?
- Google, Facebook, Twitter and Windows would be a really good first start.
  
  DuckDuckGo, Friendica, Mastodon, and Linux?
  
  Luckily I only really use windows out of those
- Liquified natural gas.
  Tech like apple, microsoft, youtube, netflix, aws, gcp, cloudflare, akamai, ...
  
  the little things
  
  The tech part are not manufactured in the us, and I am pretty sure the software already has servers oversies? Or if it doesn’t, after the Trump taxes it will!
  Just because its a US based company, that doesn’t mean that they necessarily involve the US in any way or form!
- To products and services from the USA. You are right to point it, so I have edited the post to clarify
