Luongo: Trump Doesn't Want Peace With The EU

• https://www.zerohedge.com, by Tom Luongo

And there have been a number of major moves that fundamentally tear at the fabric of that order.  In a span of a day we've had the following things occur in quick succession.

French President Emmanuel Macron holds a press conference calling for a new "strategic relationship with Russia and Turkey."

At the same time he softened the EU's stance on Russia's reunification with Crimea, saying Russian – EU relations needed "to be brought up to date."

On the trade and tariff war with Trump, Germany called Trump's bluff about free trade on cars by offering to scrap all import tariffs on theirs in exchange for the U.S. lifting them on light trucks and pickups, which Trump promptly rejected.

Trump then called the EU "Worse than China" and threatened to pull the U.S. out of the World Trade Organization.

Ayatollah Khamenei put pressure on the EU to stand up to Trump over the JCPOA, clearly threatening a return of their nuclear program.
