The hypocrisy of the EU (Obama, cost, administration, European)

[Roadking2003]

EU execs hate Trump so much that they will criticize him for doing exactly what they do.
---------------------
Nevertheless, the EU has already engaged in a trade war remarkably similar to that the Trump administration is now implementing. Following a European steel industry complaint, the European Commission found “dumping” practices in China, so the Commission raised new barriers to “corrosion-resistant steel from China” with "anti-dumping" duties of up to 28.5%.

Additionally the EU boasts of “an unprecedented number of trade defense measures in place targeting unfair imports of steel products, with a total of 43 anti-dumping and anti-subsidy measures, 20 of which are on products originating from China.” Leaving aside the fact that the Obama administration indulged in protectionist measures as well, it must be said the EU is being hypocritical again on trade issues.

You mean where they imposed tariffs on a country dumping product for less then the cost of manufacture.....vs where we impose tariffs on everyone-including those making and selling for profit?

Yeah, those two things are TOTALLY the same.

I wish nonsense like this hurt.

Have we ever known liberals, both here and abroad, to be anything other than hypocrites?

Yes. Just like the Trump tariffs.

The trade war has been going on for decades and we have been losing it.

President Trump is the only one putting any real effort and commitment into winning it.

No...that actually doesnt match the Trump tariffs at all. He applied them to everyone, then started removing folks. When near as I can tell its JUST China.

And that was my point.
