The Guardian view on the EU's answer to Trump: trade without threats | Editorial

For the European Commission president, Ursula von der Leyen, the EU's trade pact with India was the mother of all deals. Seen from the other end of the telescope, it looked like the mouse of all deals, with just 4bn (3.5bn) in tariff reductions a rounding error in a 180bn trading relationship. But that misses the point: this is about economic heavyweights resetting the terms of their cooperation because of Donald Trump's use of tariffs as a tool of economic and political compulsion.

Shapiro begins by revisiting-and correcting-his earlier view that Canada had little room to push back against U.S. pressure. "I think he's making a bet that Canada has far more leverage than I was giving it credit, and that actually Canada is the one holding the cards here," Shapiro says, arguing that Trump's negotiating style and domestic political constraints give Canada more room than was first assumed.

With language like that, deployed in separate meetings in three Asian capitals this week, government leaders forged closer ties driven in part by a figure halfway around the world: the president of the United States. And much of the time, they didn't even mention Donald Trump's name. IN BEIJING: The U.K. and Chinese leaders called Thursday for a "long-term, stable, and comprehensive strategic partnership" between their two countries. The important words are long-term and stable. The two countries committed a decade ago to building a comprehensive strategic partnership but progress has been halting at best.
