there probably is some stuff that the eu makes that the us doesn't.

If he tarriffs those, we should not replg by imposing tarriffs of our own (cutting our own balls off). We should just start increasing our prices for those products, therefore increasing their tarriffs

an export tariff to fight their import tariff? that's one way of saying we dgaf about your tariffs I suppose. And if they end up dropping the tariff because it's hurting them too much, well that'd be the ultimate humiliation.

Isnt the company that makes the ultra precise lithography machines used by tnmc Dutch. Should sell them to Tue Chinese

It is.

But why not just keep it and get the tech used at home? You don't sell a valuable asset to an economic rival just to spite another economic rival. What you do is you cling on to every technological advantage you have in the market place and capitalise on it as much as you can.

Who would sell them? No sane corpo would shoot themselves in the foot like that.

And shoot ourselves in the foot while we're at it
