If only we had leaders with this kind of nerve in Europe. Instead, we get continual surrender to Trump. Even though Europe is much more capable of defending itself from the US than Canada , which is much much more exposed. The difference is courage. Something Europe needs to find.

Up to now, Trump has always backed down in US-EU trade disputes. The EU has allowed Trump to get the headlines he wants while the detail on trade is a win for the EU. Additional courage hasnt been needed yet.

That is not even remotely true. The Turnberry deal was a surrender by the EU. Trump has won every trade battle he's had with Europe because Europeans immediately surrendered.
