Why do people from Europe pay so much attention to American politics?
Surely there are issues closer to home you should be bitching and
moaning about. Are you secretly jealous of us?
Because your politics affects us. Our greatest ally has suddenly decided to stop being an ally and that is huge for us. Instead Trump has decided to bully your friends and decides to impose 20% tariffs on imports from the UK because he thinks we levy 20% Value Added Tax (VAT) on US imports. Actually VAT is a sales tax on all purchases, whatever their origin, even items produced within the UK. I might have thought that maybe Trump just doesn't know what VAT is, but you have sales taxes at city, state and federal levels, so are you levying those taxes unfairly on all your imports?
