European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen is throwing a globalist tantrum, promising an "unflinching, united, and proportional" response to President Trump's proposed tariffs on the European Union. The unelected EU bureaucrat's defiant stance comes after Trump rightfully threatened trade consequences over Europe's pathetic lack of support regarding Greenland.
Von der Leyen's dramatic language reveals everything you need to know about the globalist mindset - they'd rather engage in a destructive trade war than simply cooperate with America's reasonable requests. While paying lip service to preferring a "cooperative approach," her actions speak louder than her diplomatic doublespeak.
Europe's 'Independence' Means Dependence on Failed Policies
The EU chief's embrace of "European independence" is rich coming from a continent that has spent decades freeloading off American military protection while undermining our economic interests. This is the same Europe that became dangerously dependent on Russian energy, ignored Trump's warnings about Nord Stream, and now lectures us about trade policy?
"A Spirit of Dialogue" apparently means demanding America subsidize European prosperity while they pursue policies that directly harm American workers and interests.
President Trump's tariff strategy isn't about starting trade wars - it's about ending the trade surrender that has shipped American jobs overseas for decades. When European leaders choose confrontation over cooperation, they're essentially admitting they'd rather protect their unfair advantages than build genuine partnerships.
Von der Leyen's "proportional response" threat is exactly the kind of globalist posturing that American voters rejected in 2024. While she plots retaliation from her Brussels ivory tower, President Trump is fighting for the American workers who've been betrayed by decades of terrible trade deals.
The choice is clear: America can continue letting unelected foreign bureaucrats dictate our trade policy, or we can support a president who puts America First. Patriots know which side they're on - do the European elites?
