In its stop-work order on Friday, the US cited the need “to address concerns related to the protection of national security interests”, without providing further details.
The political risk of investing in the US is on the rise.

This is complete fantasy. Just an absurd made up lie. The EU is not giving Trump “$600 billion to invest anyway I want.” They aren’t giving him 1 dollar to invest. It is just astonishing that a president can go on a financial network and lie like this & it barely registers. bsky.app/profile/atru...
Trump on his EU trade deal: "The details are $600 billion to invest in anything I want. Anything. I can do anything I want with it."

Trump and Navarro, two old delusional men wrecking the US economy. How long can the Republicans look on without acting? How is it even possible for Trump to claim "emergency" powers to impose tariffs? Trump is digging himself into a deep hole, unwilling to change course - this is the real emergency.
