A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Who fucking cares at this point? No deal with that moron is worth anything. Give him nothing. Because he's going to slap whatever imaginary bullshit on whomever he pleases no matter what they do. Let his stupid threats be what they are - a syphyllitic old man pissing into the wind.
On the heels of trade court ruling his tariffs are illegal. And fuck off with this July 4th crap, you’re not fooling anyone
Sorry, didn't the Supreme Court JUST rule like TWICE that all his stupid ass tarvfeffes were ILLEGAL?! AGAIN?!
Chickening out or not, couldn't he threaten and say it and it just...not go through? On account of being ruled ILLEGAL? AGAIN‽
AGHHH!!!
Tariffs hit small importers harder. It is a great way to remove competition.
Any business that hasn't moved away from american providers or markets dependency at this point has very shitty management.
AGHHHH
Aaahh, the average reaction when you wake up and look at the first news headlines in the 2020's
Man, this decade sucks
Ignore him. Seek business elsewhere. Trump just wants to control Europe.
Leyen wird das schon verkacken, mach dir da keine sorgen
Om vi alla skriver på olika språk blir allt mycket svårare att läsa.
A Møøse once bit my sister ...
Eu concordo contigo. Fica mais difícil ler tudo mas é divertido!
... Men ville det ikke bare være så meget sejere hvis vi allesammen bare var flydende på 8 sprog?
Där Papscht het z Pschteck zschpat pschtellt.
Interessanti übersetzig wo Google da gmacht hät devo.
Wennt mit interessant, falsch meinsch, de ja xd
Offesichtlich falsch.
Aber das er us em zspaat pschtellte Pschteck "wütend" macht findi ebe interessant.
Hinder s’Hans-Heiris Huus hani hundert Hase ghöre hueschte.
Until here, including yours i was actually able to follow, but I am limited to 4 languages, understanding everyone would be nice though
Nie martw się, i tak mamy go w dupie
Oh. You mean the illegal tariffs that your own courts won't even uphold? That threat just doesn't have the same weight anymore.
They just declared the new tariffs illegal https://lemmy.ca/post/64519783
Trump is beyond any laws. He simply doesn't give a shit.
He should have been in jail for SA after being convicted by a civil court on 34 counts. Americans decided to fuck their own country.
While I agree, civil courts cant penalize you with prison time.
Let's also remember he led an insurrection and was the second most prominent member of a global cabal of pedophiles. A lifetime in a secret blacksite is the absolute best thing he deserves.
He’s an actual punk-ass bitch. No one believes a word he says. Well, anyone with a brain. His supporters just wave their hands and repeat his ramblings. Europe needs to keep calling his bluff.
🤣😂🤣😂 omg, the world no longer cares
But Leyen likes to sign shit
What an asshole...
Hurry up and comply or Dad will count to 10 again…
If I was the leader of these countries and unions, I’d just ignore him. Literally just do nothing
Tarrifs are paid for by the importer, so there isn't anything to do anyway. But what does then happen is consumers in the US will be conscious of the tarrifs and select cheaper products from non-tarrif'd countries. So there is an effect to be had on the EU whether they do anything or not.
It's just another distribution of wealth to the top. The cash is collected, the tariffs deemed illegal and the big box stores keep the money. The courts will get overwhelmed with class actions and the consumer will get $2.75 back if they can send in their receipts.
I assume that the EU is expecting TACOs on the 4th of July.
That sounds delicious
Don't
Let trump do whatever because he will do whatever anyway
Roll away, pumpkin.
Yes ,taco
So, we are doing the "school yard bully" thing again?
US people needs to do something about their leaders and top 1% - you are millions, how can you let this go on!?
Because if we stop working, we die.
Same reason Russia doesn't. Because it's real big...And the cops will kill you.
It's deadly to get organized right now, so even getting a million people together would likely be met with rico prosecutions for sharing lunch with someone who passed out fliers. There is no freedom to organize even nonviolent opposition to the administration. The state has so many ways to relieve pressure that it'd take mass starvation and unemployment for people to do anything.
The billionaires have completely captured almost the entire opposition party, freezing out anyone who actually opposes their interests. There are no more democratic mechanisms for significant change, and most of us don't accept that reality. So many people still think that what they've been taught to do to impact change will work, but our votes are only acceptable if the candidate is oligarch approved. Even the people who actually stand against them are only allowed to convince people that there is still a chance.
So you ask how we can let this go on? It's because we'd need to embrace violence to change things, and most believe nonstate violence is wrong no matter how fascist the state.
feeling sorry for all of you non-trumpers over there- really that bad? 😢
The tragic part is that most Americans don't even know how much the walls have closed in around them.
Europe should not negotiate with terrorists, even less so with pedophile terrorists.
Our parliament agreed to the tariffs… we are so weak…. This is embarrassing.
so is it going to be june 30th then or the july 7th?
