The USA should be happy if the previous trade agreements continue, because Trump is such a pushover that other countries may demand concessions. It may already be too late for American farmers anyway.

The timing of the EU fines, that hit Meta and Apple yesterday, is curious, I might be reading too much into it but it really felt like the EU going "eh? we've got nothing to worry about after all". Trump clearly overplayed his hand. 

The fines are way lower than they could have been for some reason. Maybe the EU is testing the waters with this one?
