    EU will buy $750 billion in energy from the US among with incentives. The EU is now open for US exports. The stock market will explode tomorrow.

    So what is the net gain? Serious question. The energy stuff just makes sense for the EU given Russia and ME stuff going on. Is the a definition of energy vs what we were already providing?

    Or, simply there is no way to tell.

    $750 billion in U.S. energy? Wow, that's 3 times what Russia sells them per year.

    Half a trillion dollars direct investment in the U.S. is very significant.

    Of course, it’s Reuters reporting this. Can you find this from something that isn’t a right-wing echo chamber?? There’s no plausible way he knows how to negotiate. Hasn’t been in government long enough.

    YEP..EU effectively funding Russia's war effort and they want us to defend them. The 5% NATO agreement is massive as well. Good developments.....

    But Trump is breaking with long-held traditions and not allowing our allies to fleece us. Does that not worry you? Where’s the statesmanship??

    Meh. As they say, “the Devil is in the details”. Performative theater. The markets define the win / loss.
    DOW futures +0.38%
    NADAQ futures +0.54%
    S&P futures 0.41%

    Yep. You nailed it. This is just him showing off to his white ‘Murica constituency. He made those ladyboys in Europe bend the knee.

    They should pay, and leave it to our dealmaker-in-chief to come up with a way to make the American taxpayers and the Ukrainians happy all at the same time.... win, win.

    Some folks just can't appreciate anything good for America that doesn't advance their political agenda--or in the case of the TDS infected... that doesn’t impugn DJT--becsuse their true North, since Trump threw in with the GOP in July of '15, is directly opposite Trump--their over riding catch all, means everything, litmus test...

    LOL(osers)!

    We personally don't gain anything except higher prices and inflation. But some people's who's taxes we just lowered will be making some more money.
