A bit less globalism in terms of shipping consumer products across the world isn't such a bad thing. Continents becoming more self sustainable and consuming the products they can produce, only importing those things that it really needs. Advocados are not mandatory in our diet.
The current trade war is initiated by the US, why it is interesting how EU consumers react to that.
This is akin to me hitting you in the face, then you hitting me back - and then I could ponder how you would feel about being hit in the face and how that could teach you a lesson - well, I just saw what happens when I hit you in the face.
While I don't approve, didn't the EU charge the US tariffs that were twice as high as what the US charged the EU?
But I stand corrected if there are some good sources.
I'm afraid i'll need the exact sections of the trade agreement document that stipulates these tariffs so that I can compare myself. Otherwise this is hearsay for me.
To summarize, EU countries levied 1.49 % on average on imports in 2021, the US levied 1.48 % on average. Probably there are singular items that diverge from this average.
