Trump imposed tariffs on Canada, México, European Union and Australia. The best answer against this would be a strategic partnership between these countries. This would be a punch in Trump's face.

I'd rather punch Gina in the face but if we can have both that's good too.

Just tariff the shit out of Tesla and put any profits into other green / electrification initiatives.

If they escalate stop using tariffs to escalate.

Can't the world just invade us and save everyone from us? Someone needs to take up the world police mantle and take down this rabid dog.

He destroyed the reputation of the US in 1,5 months. I think the entire country will lose many jobs, because other countries do not want to buy US products anymore. For example, the European Union thinks about to cancel all F35 orders and to invent a new European jet. Even Erdogan wants to participate in this partnership.

We should replace our free trade agreement with a reciprocal trade agreement. Match whatever tariffs the US sets.

You could tell Dolan that the US has full control and doesn't have to agree to anything.
