The European Union has dismissed US demands to change its food safety standards and cut ties with China. The EU and US are currently negotiating trade after the US imposed tariffs, but the EU refuses to compromise on food health and safety regulations or its relationship with China.

Trump's 24-49% tariff hammer on ASEAN amounts to economic terrorism. ASEAN's "China plus one" strategy that's fueling their industrialization is threatened by US sabotage. Wise nations will tell America to choke on its tariffs, pivot to the Global South, and fast-track regional integration.

in reply to Dwight (DB) 🍁 🇨🇦 • • •The image depicts a dense forest scene with a variety of trees. In the foreground, there is a prominent green pine branch with needles, extending across the frame. The ground is covered with a layer of dry leaves and twigs, indicating a natural forest floor. The trees in the background are tall and slender, with some having bare branches, suggesting it might be early spring or late autumn. The bark of the trees is rough and gray, with some areas showing signs of lichen or moss growth. The light filtering through the canopy creates a dappled effect on the forest floor. The overall color palette includes shades of green, brown, and gray, with the green of the pine needles contrasting against the brown of the fallen leaves and the gray of the tree trunks.
