Subject: Re: More EU views on the trade deal
One of it's more useless "provisions" was having the European Commission handwave towards buying more American hardware, even though they made no formal commitment to do so and would have no authority to make such a commitment anyway, as military purchases are a decision made by country states and not by the EU:

It only becomes "useless" unless Trump can't strike deals with individual countries, doesn't it?

Since Trump has been telling Europe that the U.S. is no longer interested in providing as much of their defense umbrella, all those country states are now prioritizing domestic military purchases.

And one more time. That's great for them to say, but it's going to take the Germans 100 years to build something as simple as artillery pieces. That's in the Come on, man bucket.
