In response to the imposition of new, unjustified US tariffs on EU steel and aluminium imports, the Commission has launched swift and proportionate countermeasures on US imports into the EU.

Indeed!
I’m Australian. We have deep psychological, cultural, and political ties to the US.
I vividly remember my grade 3 teacher explaining that we would be speaking Japanese if the US hadn’t saved us in WWII.
That may (or may not) be true, but there’s a pervasive feeling that we need the US lest we be annexed by China.
Just a few short months ago I found China’s politics of censorship and authoritarianism fairly repugnant, but honestly now they’re my preferred global super power. I for one welcome our new communist overlords.
Anyhow, I wholeheartedly agree that Europe becoming more self sufficient is the right way forward. Hopefully Australia can build stronger ties with Europe also.
Sadly we’re due for an election in the coming months and I suspect our conservative party is going to win and fall in to line behind Trump.
