Strategic Flaw? Whitehouse Ties European Tariffs To EU Sanctions Against Iran

Strategic Flaw? Whitehouse Ties European Tariffs To EU Sanctions Against Iran
The Trump administration has threatened to impose a 25 percent tariff on European automobile imports if Britain, France and Germany do not formally accuse Iran of breaking the 2015 nuclear deal, the Washington Post reported on Wednesday, citing unnamed European officials.

The three European countries triggered a dispute mechanism under the agreement on Tuesday, amounting to a formal accusation against Tehran of violating its terms and could lead to the reinstatement of United Nations sanctions lifted under the accord.

xjug, democrats are cowards? Kerry served in Vietnam while private bone spurs stayed at home. "Daddy don't let them send me."
Both Clinton and Obama had better economies according to all statistics, not the state run media of fux news.
Rex Tillerson was right when he called trump "..a fucking moron."

Xjug, Kerry served when called upon and went into a comabat zone, hardly a coward. Obama went to Harvard. trump claims he went to Penn, but never claims he graduated. He writes and speaks at a 5th grade level, like you.

Car4Lost - ALL politicians have tax returns designed for reelection. President Trump is a disruptor and clearly his returns are complex. For that reason alone, and for the reason that loser DemoCowards want them so they can hopefully find something, is the reason absolutely ZERO people care, except pathetic loser snowflakes like you. When we see Obama's educational records perhaps then we can see Trumps returns. That said, his returns were also as a private citizen prior to his election and victory over Jezebel ClintStone. NO ONE has a right to see them.... No one cares, again except pathetic cowards on the left... and you of course.

As usual, xjug,you are wrong. No presidential has revealed their college transcripts prior to an election. It has been common practice for the last 40 years for candidates to release their tax records. It is for transparency. We have not seen trump's college transcript's either.
trump did promise to release his transcripts, but this turned out to be a lie too.
Why, they will likely show he is not a billionaire, has paid little or no taxes and/or his financing comes from Russia.

Extorting our allies, bending over for Putin.
Truth is, the Iranians abided by the agreement even after trump pulled out.
Forcing our allies to agree to something that is not true is just like the Ukraine criminal enterprise.

My proof dumbass, the Israeli Moussad and their military as well as our CIA and the atomic energy commission all agreed that Iran was complying with the terms of the treat. The centrifuges that were disassembled were verified as the enriched uranium sent to Russia. Where is your evidence other than your uneducated opinion?
See, to you trump fans, opinions are not facts. I hope that helps you.

Perfectly played by a master. Iran has nothing to offer the EU they cannot get elsewhere... lets see how pathetic they are? Troofy - "extorting" our allies.. if they buy from Iran and support terror are the "really" our allies or simply looking out for their own interests? Its not extortion either turdbreath, its called leverage... pretty sure President Trump knows what he's doing. We certainly trust him more than any pathetic demoCrap... like Barry, his leverage is $150B given to terrorists so they will like us, perhaps Trump should send billions in cash loaded onto a plane in the middle of the night and send that to terrorists... you're all idiots...

Xjug, you are so poorly informed, it is painful to try to explain facts to you.
It was $50 billion of Iran's money held here to settle law suits against Iran. The World Court and numerous other treaties we are signatories to require we return this money to Iran once the suits were settled. Since we have no banking arrangements with Iran, cash was transferred. Now I know Trump and his redneck followers don't believe in treaties (or wedding vows in his case).
No, I do not believe trump knows what he is doing. Four bankruptcies back this up.
He is impulsive, immature and not terribly bright.

I believe private Bone spurs is the coward. Obama unleashed the federal reserve to save the economy. It was a number of emergency actions to get the economy moving. You could read about it and I could suggest some books, with pictures of that would help.
Obama came into office with a stockmarket in free fall, tens of thousands of layoffs almost daily, the dollar falling and the economy in danger of collapse. He left office with a growing economy, growing employment and wages and decreased the annual deficit by 60 percent.
All trump has done is continue those trends, except the average quarterly GDP was higher in BO's second term. All trump has done is increase the annual budget deficit by 60 percent during a growing economy, which is unheard of, and greatly increased the trade deficit. Worst president ever.

Like he played the Chinese, who won Billy in the phase 1 agreement trump signed. The TPP accomplished more. Every financial analysis on this concludes the Chinese came out ahead. This is why Asian stocks declined Friday.

He is clueless. He is doing Putin's bidding by destroying NATO.
He is a lousy negotiator. Only threats and rage do not convince people.
To quote others on this site, he is playing checkers while everyone else is playing chess.
Even his "buddy" Bibi said the man is incapable of strategy.

NATO is nothing but a military version of the UN, a bureaucratic mess that exists on the lifeblood of the US taxpayers & soldiers with the worst offenders being Germany and France while newer members from Eastern Europe at least try to contribute. https://www.thedailybeast.com/german-soldiers-in-afghanistan-cant-shoot

Fanfool, you are wrong. NATO has kept Russia in check and the world relatively safe for over seventy years and helped expand freedom in the world. Our allies in NATO stepped up after 911.
Up until 2016, only Russia wanted to get rid of NATO. trump is too stupid to understand history or strategy.

NATO hasn’t done $#!+, it was all US funding and the US umbrella of protection that kept The Soviets at bay, and that was mostly because the US would not renounce the 1st use of nuclear weapons. The fact that the largest non-US army in NATO is the Turks. France, Germany, UK and Italy could barely put together enough active Personnel to defend themselves.

And that is Trumps point, yes you’re our allies and we will stick together. But don’t expect Us to do it all, pick up a rifle and blow the dust off your checkbooks.

There is more to defense than number of soldiers. There is intelligence, weaponry, logistics, support. Russia certainly thought NATO was its biggest threat and that is why they worked hard to separate Europe from the US. Now trump is doing it for him.
You have to quit getting your information from fox.
