EU goes to WAR on Trump as it threatens to BLACKLIST AMERICA in tax clampdown
Express ^ | 11/11/196 | Siobhan McFadyen

DONALD Trump's protectionism has already stirred a hornet's nest in Europe with bureaucrats threatening an unprecedented clampdown on the new US president before he's even entered the Oval office.

And the European Commission's tax chief has got the president-elect in his crosshairs after a meeting on Tuesday which began identifying countries which the EU intends to place on a tax blacklist.

In an astonishing interview European Commissioner for Economic and Financial Affairs, Taxation and Customs Pierre Moscovici refused to rule out putting the USA on its blacklist.

And he insulted Mr Trump calling him a “populist provocateur” before branding the USA a "strange country."

The incredibly bold statement comes as The Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership trade negotiations being carried out mostly in secret between the EU and US are likely to hit the buffers.

“How would you like another Reich in Germany?”

Heh, they cannot even rise up against the muzzies. I’m afraid that all the Germans with cojones were killed during ww II.

And having owned two of those supposedly top of the line German cars, both of which have left me stranded more than once, they aren’t very good in the engineering department either.

Hmmm, I wonder how many miles of wall on the border we could build with the money from closing down our military presence in Europe.

Is that “EU” or “Eewwww”.

I kind of like being in a strange country of deplorables.

That’s why it pains me so much to see the progression of communism.

““According to the EC website the EU exported £321 billion to the USA in 2015 while the USA exports £215 billion in return.””

We can live without Brie and Krautmobiles! I just imagine that Voklswagen’s little deal with their diesel car emissions isn’t helping. Again, that trade imbalance needs to be addressed by Trump.

It’s might time we disarm their pathetic armies and make it clear who’s really in charge. If we’re going to keep the American empire, maybe it’s time we get something of value for the protection and order we provide Europe.

When the Muzzies take over Germany and its Government, they will probably reopen the Camps and fill them up with Natural Born Germans.

Hmmm... The EU , ie. Germany , mostly export to the US, just like in case of the UK, so they can take a hike. And we can block Airbus too.

America can have its Brexit, FU EU

Buying a Ford or Chevy? where will it be made? I thought Fords got made in Mexico, for example, while there are a lot of Toyotas made in America. Complicated question.

Exactly. Let the liberal globalists just try and mess with President Trump.

By the time Trump is finished with his first term, the EU will be history.

Thje Focus I bought in 09 was made in Michigan. It has been a good car, but you’re right, it takes some research to get it right.
