At EU trade chief Sefcovic EP hearing today he said the EU was comparing notes with other deficit countries, naming Canada, Mexico, Japan, Korea.

Joint retaliation would be fascinating, probably more effective, and sure to enrage Trump.

Canada's Foreign Minister wants a coordinated Canada-EU-UK response to retaliate against Trump's tariff hostilities.

DO. IT. Take the orange Fuhrer down a peg or two. There are too many people in our country who thought the election was just a game. They need to feel the pain of Trump's actions.

By deficit countries, I mean trading partners which have a trade in goods surplus with the United States. Realise that was clunkily phrased

The British are so cowardly they didn't even condemn Drumpf's claims on part of Denmark, unlike France or Germany. Good luck on trusting the Brutish.

About time they woke up and stopped sitting on their hands. Those negotiations should have started at least since end November or early December when Trump started threatening annexation as a risk management initiative. Probably earlier than that given all the red flags before that.

Imperialists look at each other and are like "what if we allow each other to expand each in a different area?"

Trump wants the Americas, Putin Europe, Israel the middle east and China wherever it wants to expand next in asia.

Anyone who isn't them needs to be more proactive at managing this crisis

Good! We need a comprehensive and global response. We have a free trade deal in place with the EU and good relations with Asia. We all should stand together rather than all be bullied separately!

If they all stopped using dollars for international trade and switched to the Euro, it would smash the US economy.
