Just asking. I suppose some nasty food. And expensive cars bought by dickheads. And aircraft we can make better ourselves.

So ** Trump.



Lots of agricultural exports .

"U.S. agricultural exports have grown steadily over the past 25 years—reaching $174 billion in 2023, up from $57.3 billion in 1998."

So much cloud stuff, and software.

TV shows and music recordings. And Hollywood.

Weaponry, military and civilian aircraft, and servicing.

Pharmaceuticals.

That’s just off the top of my head.


Who is this Ourselves?

Europe can do basically nothing. Funniest was German solar panels. They tried to fight American panels with 50% taxes, but American lost to Chinese. Even 200% wont help now.

I actually remember when folding 10W panel was 180€ in Germany, 60$ in USA and 10€ in Aliexpress.
