Day 2,001: spate, infect
The euro zone is projected to grow by just 0.8% in 2024. Mr Trump is threatening tariffs on all imports into America of 10% or perhaps 20%, with a lot more for countries he particularly dislikes, such as China, which might lead to a spate of dumping into Europe.
Their weakness infects the eu as a whole because, without leadership from France and Germany, nothing ambitious can happen in Brussels.
