In ideal world EU should agree on a handful of red state exports on which we’d apply say 10%, let the US exporters explain their president why that’s wrong and only then enter the negotiations with the US and whatever then the outcome is GET IT IN THE WRITING with his signature.
Yes, he would then try to blame the “evil EU”, but having a written and signed agreement is the only way to prevent this monthly “it’s on - and now it’s off” charade.
Now unfortunately even if anybody had the balls to actually propose it there is too many actors who would shoot any such proposal down. Be it because of fear for their exports or just to be contrarian.

Getting something in writing and signed by Trump isn’t worth much. He’ll still change his mind and tear it up next week.
I was thinking the same. Maybe Cali and NYC to begin with.
Is it possible?
Oh and then increase tax on US big tech. :)
