  1. It's not the reason for the decision made by Saudi Arabia. You are confusing with Trump's recent attempt to get OPEC countries to increase their production in order to squeeze Russia. Saudi Arabia wants to recover its market share (it's also a way to reply to some OPEC members freeriding by not respecting quotas).
  2. Complete B.S.!😆 To start with, the Mediterranean diet touted by nutritionists is not the Italian diet, it's the Greek diet from the Islands. Then the chart. It compares hidden cost per country without taking into account the population. Of course, the total cost is lower in Latvia, with a small population, than in Germany! t's completely useless, it must be calculated per capita!
  3. Also what a shame for Republicans and Right-Wing media who have been hiding for years that Trump was a megalomaniac who is unable to cope with reality! 😆
  4. The election is over. Now the hot topic is President Trump talking B.S. 😂
  5. So $158 million between 2016 and 2022, to 61 countries. And Trump said that $50 million went to Gaza only! He made himself ridiculous again. Thank you for confirming that Trump was lying again! 😆
  6. You made yourself ridiculous again, you're wrong by 17 million votes! 😆 BTW, the election is over.
  7. That's what Trudeau and Sheinbaum understood quite well! 😆
  8. Trump caved!
  9. His cult still believes he won the 2020 election! That says it all! 😆
  10. And MTG remind us constantly that she's a dumb<deleted>! https://www.yahoo.com/news/10-most-humiliating-things-maga-161921706.html
  11. Lol! They never opposed U.S presence. and the U.S. has never been barred from investing in Greenland! 😆
  12. As usual, the mountain gave birth to a mouse!
  13. So, in summary, Trump caved!
  14. So not prioritising to stop drug from enterering the U.S. where it actually mainly enters, is the best solution. 55555 😆
  15. Of course, drill baby drill is just a slogan for the gullible! 😆
  16. As usual, Trump is just pretending to solve problems and doesn't address the real issues. As you mentioned, drugs mainly enter the U.S. thought legal ports of entry, hidden in cars, or in shipments by truck, train, etc... There's nothing troops patrolling the border outside these legal port of entry can do about it. The only way is to improve detection means, and to increase the frequency of vehicles and shipment search at those ports of entry. Not to mention that there is drug trafficking because there is a demand. I also don't see what Trump intends to do in order to decrease demand.
  17. Interestingly enough, the UK trade balance with the U.S. has been showing a deficit only since 2016. https://www.census.gov/foreign-trade/balance/c4120.html
  18. Doesn't that finding depends on the NTSB being packed with MAGAs?
  19. I see. So the UK trade balance with the U.S. has been showing a deficit since the year 2016. Coincidence?
  20. That the U.S is not currently imposing special tariffs on some specific goods from the E.U.
  21. Funny, it's not what the UK government claims! 🙂 Total UK exports to United States amounted to £182.6 billion in the four quarters to the end of Q3 2024 (a decrease of 0.5% or £889 million in current prices, compared to the four quarters to the end of Q3 2023); • Total UK imports from United States amounted to £111.5 billion in the four quarters to the end of Q3 2024 (a decrease of 5.1% or £5.9 billion in current prices, compared to the four quarters to the end of Q3 2023). https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/6762c58cbe7b2c675de3075a/united-states-trade-and-investment-factsheet-2024-12-20.pdf&ved=2ahUKEwiphLzbzqmLAxUNUqQEHQ2uC0IQFnoECB0QAQ&usg=AOvVaw30Va1MuC_dYkDrKuYx_u29 Same for 2023 https://www.ons.gov.uk/economy/nationalaccounts/balanceofpayments/articles/uktradewiththeunitedstates2023/2023
  22. The U.S. is doing exactly the same....
