Trump and trade talks with EU

One of the things he has harped on is the tariffs the EU has on US cars. What he fails to mention is we have a much higher tariff on trucks and SUVs.
Now here is how funny trade deals can be. EU has said if he does up the tariffs, they will up the tariffs on SUVs. Because of the higher tariffs in the US, BMW makes SUVs in the US and is a next exporter of SUVs from the US....thus their own country would be penalizing them.
One thing that is very annoying, Germany is not close to their spending commitment on NATO, whose purpose is to protect them from Russia, yet they are going through with the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline from Russia and will not buy our gas, because its more expensive...well wonder how expensive Russia occupying Germany would be, ya know they are familiar with Berlin.

Trade with Russia/USSR has always been sort of confusing and complicated.
We sold them an arse-ton of grain throughout the Cold War. Seems counterintuitive.
