@WashTimes Trump must maintain the Hormuz blockade until July 24—or earlier if the EU backs down. From June 1, he has new legal tools at his disposal, and a confrontation is coming. At that point, he could pull a joker from the deck—and it’s Norway. Read more here: samfunnogpolitikk.no/en/internation…

Europe needs to understand once and for all that the US is not an enemy, but it is not a true strategic ally either; its foreign policy priorities are fundamentally different from ours. We need full market integration, a common foreign policy, and the capacity to pursue and defend our own interests independently.

President Donald Trump on Friday said he is not satisfied with a new offer from Iran to end a two-month-old war with the United States and Israel. “Iran wants to make a deal, but I’m not satisfied with it,” Trump told reporters at the White House. “Iran wants to make a deal because they have no military left.” Read more: cnb.cx/4um0YIo

@CNBC Trump is taking this to a new level he’s been planning for a long time. For legal reasons, the most critical period will be between June 1 and July 24—and Trump has a joker in the deck: Norway. Read the details behind this complex picture here: samfunnogpolitikk.no/en/internation…

Here we go again. How many times will we have to deal with the Trump’s deranged decisions before we retaliate in equal measure? This will only end when the US feels the same amount of pain that they wish to inflict on us.

BREAKING: President Trump announces he is raising tariffs on cars and trucks coming into the US from the EU to 25%. President Trump says this is due to the EU "not complying with out fully agreed to trade deal."

Trump announces new tariffs on the EU. Now it’s time to activate the EU Anti-Coercion Instrument and hit back where it matters: EU market access for US companies must be restricted. The US wants a trade war. Europe has to make sure the US understands what that means. 🇪🇺

Trump is intensifying pressure on the EU—and he holds a card few are factoring in. The administration has positioned itself legally for potential sanctions, with key dates on June 1 and July 24. Tariffs are one lever; the Iran blockade another; threats to exit NATO a third; and “constructive” talks with Putin a fourth. If this escalates into a confrontation, the U.S. could turn to mineral- and oil-rich Norway—given its Arctic position—on security grounds, potentially restricting oil and gas flows to the EU.

You’re right—European leaders don’t understand Trump’s strategic game. It’s now escalating, with key dates on June 1 and July 24. In that window, a confrontation could emerge where Trump pulls an unexpected card from the deck: Norway. Get the details behind this complex game here: samfunnogpolitikk.no/en/internation…

You’re an idiot. He wants to get out of NATO and freeze Europe out of everything. I’m disappointed in Meloni, but it’s politics. She’s sticking with her neighbors, it’s not exactly a “shocking” move given the circumstances. But now, Trump can say, “there’s zero reason to remain in NATO. Let Europe fend for itself.” That’s a scary notion, given I live in Europe, but again, it’s politics. And sadly, most of Europe are globalists. They’re not close buddies of the U.S. anymore. That’s on them, not us.
Merlijn The Trader@MerlijnTrader

INSIGHTS: 🇺🇸🇮🇹 Trump just publicly called out Italian PM Giorgia Meloni. "She is no longer the old Meloni. I thought she was brave. I was wrong." Meloni's response: "Italy does not care about what Donald Trump said." Read the Meloni situation carefully. She was Trump's strongest European ally. The one leader who publicly supported his agenda. NATO exit threatened. Iran talks cancelled. Meloni gone. The U.S. is increasingly isolated on the world stage. When you lose your last friend in Europe. You're not winning anymore.

Trump is now moving forward with his strategic plan, including an unexpected factor. The U.S. has positioned itself legally for sanctions against the EU, with key dates on June 1 and July 24. Within that window, a confrontation could emerge if the EU does not bend. In that scenario, the U.S. could turn to mineral- and oil-rich Norway, given its Arctic location—seeking control over its vast resources and potentially restricting oil and gas supplies to the EU. It’s complex, but get the full picture here: samfunnogpolitikk.no/no/utenrikspol…

🚨 JUST IN: In a massive FAFO moment, President Trump is SLAPPING 25% tariffs on the European Union's cars and trucks after they failed to abide by the trade deal Trump is going HARDBALL on the EU! "It is fully understood and agreed that, if they produce Cars and Trucks in U.S.A. Plants, there will be NO TARIFF. Many Automobile and Truck Plants are currently under construction, with over 100 Billion Dollars being invested, A RECORD in the History of Car and Truck Manufacturing." "These Plants, staffed with American Workers, will be opening soon — There has never been anything like what is happening in America today! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP"
