Interesting use of a specific word.
Just industrial tariffs? What’s that mean?
Is it all tariffs on industrial items like steel?
Or is it word smithing of a particular part of different tariffs?

And, we should offer each member country the ability to negotiate directly.
Once again, they cannot do so.

Why would that be any of our concern or prerogative?

In addiction to Fiscal leftist, they've embraced Neocon tactics.

I just want to understand how someone imagines the conversation going anything other than like this:
US: "We demand individual trade deal with Slovenia"
Slovenia and EU: "No, that undermines the entire purpose of our organization"

I'm curious if the Trump admin would even want to negotiate with member states as opposed to a single entity.

Of course they would.
Why?
They ostensibly operate as a single economy when it comes to international trade and the like.
Getting a deal with all 30 of them at the same time seems preferable to having to waste time and resources dealing with them separately.

It also puts the leg work of negotiation on the member states so we don't even have to devote resources to it or suffer negative consequences from it.

This is a pretty big frickin win. The left will implode.
It’s only a matter of time. China will bend the economic knee too.

Trump will attempt to dodge. He isn't a fan of free trade

Take a step back and ask yourself why they decided to form the EU.

Various reasons, some of which still exist.
In part it was to lower transaction costs and make trade more profitable among the member nations. This still exists (and is applicable here).
In part it was to compete with the US, but that failed and isn't really a thing anymore. They've accepted this failure (many argue the PIIGS saga waived that white flag).

For their own mutual and collective benefit. Not unlike the reason any federation, including ours, formed.

Republicans: Tariffs are good because it’s the best way for American companies to compete, too much free trade is hurting our country.
Also Republicans: If we have 0 tariffs and 100% free trade, that’s great for the country!
