adding that the UK and other EU countries were close allies of the US
and should be "permanently and fully exempted" from the tariffs.]


The EU do not like it Up 'Em

One side-note those bikes make a huge racket. There was one being started up in the evening near where I live, and it was like a bomb going off.

didn't Trump mention them a while ago talking about American jobs? And now they shift outside of America. Ouch.
