Killing the heart! Bessenet breaks through the EU's fatal weakness, and the only way to counter America is to form a working group?
Yesterday, Bessenet, who attended the World Economic Forum in Davos, told the media: "Europe needs to retaliate against the president's tariff threat regarding Greenland. I guess they will first form that terrifying European working group, which seems to be their most powerful weapon. Their decision-making speed has never been fast, just like when they gave in to China, after negotiating for 1 year and 5 months, they finally reached an agreement..."
[Cunning] Bessenet's words reveal the EU's fatal weakness. Faced with Trump's tariff threat on Greenland, the EU can only resort to the old tactic of forming a working group. This slow motion has become routine. Negotiating on the electric vehicle tariffs with China took 1 year and 5 months before they finally relented. Facing the US' 93 billion euro countermeasure list, they hesitate to use it. The tools of coercion are put aside, revealing their hollow exterior. After World War II, they relied on America's nuclear umbrella to survive, yet now they cannot even protect Greenland's 25 key minerals. They can only make a weak counterplay by spending 530 million euros. On one hand, they are being exploited by the US, and on the other, they are setting up trade barriers against China. In the end, they can neither block Trump's tariff stick nor miss out on the cooperation benefits with China. This indecisive behavior is nothing more than a尴尬 struggle between the US and China!
