Yikes. A great way to cut carbon emissions though.

‘For the US economy, much is at stake, with the inbound travel market a major revenue-earner worth $155 billion in overseas visitor expenditure, and with millions of Americans employed in the tourism industry.

‘In 2024, before the Trump administration took office and introduced its extreme version of enhanced vetting, more than 710,000 Australians visited the US, a nearly 17 per cent increase on the previous year.

‘Now the giant French hotel multinational Accor has warned that bookings from Europe to the US for this northern summer’s high season are down 25 per cent. Airlines such as the UK-based Virgin Atlantic are also sounding the alarm to investors.
…

‘Extraordinarily, in the past week, experts, via the pages of The New York Times and The Washington Post, have been recommending that foreign travellers at least delete “anything you wouldn’t want someone to read or see from your device before visiting the US”.’

Did a little punching up of my intro paragraphs.

"Donald Trump, on the other hand, showed up to the free market drunk, punched congress’s girlfriend in the tits, threw some gang signs, grabbed the wheel of the steamroller of American enterprise, and started shouting “YOLO!” while doing donuts in your stepmom’s flowerbeds. Steamroller donuts, each one cheered on more enthusiastically than the last by a cavalcade of botoxed ghouls from Fox News, OANN, Newsmax, and the entire consortium of Tenet Media connected podcasts caught red handed taking millions of dollars from Russian intelligence less than a year ago. It’s a trajectory of governance that's unrecognizable to the American electorate, though I have a bad feeling that anyone who lived through the rise of a populist strongman like Robert Mugabe, Victor Orban, or Hugo Chavez would feel the shock of recognition.

"Recent independent economic analysis by Frontier Economics found that even in the face of Trump’s trade war, a commonsense deal with the EU that included deeper alignment on goods and services would secure economic growth of up to 1.5% to UK GDP, offsetting the impact of US tariffs completely for the UK and by a third for the EU."

American Express, Visa and MasterCard are all US companies.
I don't understand much about finance, but can't this be problematic at some point?

Shouldn't the EU have its own payment circuit?

Is it possible that those companies would go bankrupt? Or apply extra-costs because the US government required it?

"We need an economic coalition of the willing: like-minded global leaders who believe that, in an interdependent world, we have to coordinate economic policies across continents if we are to safeguard jobs and living standards."

- “We will continue to ratchet up the consequences, including tariffs and perhaps even sanctions, until Mexico complies with the treaty and gives Texas the water they are entitled to,” Trump writes.

That the incumbent commission can't even manage to condemn Poland, Finland, Estonia, Lithuania and Latvia withdrawing from the Ottawa Treaty speaks volumes as to its moral bankruptcy under the malignant rule of Von Der Leyen.

EU countries' withdrawal from anti-landmine convention sparks controversy | Euronews

euronews.com/my-europe/2025/04

Asked by Euronews during a press briefing, the European Commission stopped short of condemning the decisions of the five Baltic member states. “We have contributed over 174 million since 2023 to humanitarian mine action, including 97 million euros specifically for mine clearance,” recalled Commission spokesperson Anouar El Anouni, without commenting on the withdrawal plans. The topic was included in the European Parliament's annual report on the “Implementation of the Common Security and Defence Policy” voted on in April in Strasbourg. An amendment that “strongly condemns the intention of some member states to withdraw from the 1997 Convention” was rejected by a show of hands. Another motion, tabled by the European People’s Party and approved with 431 votes in favour, essentially justifies the steps taken by the Baltic countries and blames Russia for them.
