“It’s not the corporate interests, but the pure ideological activists who believe that #climate change is a hoax, who believe that this was about transferring wealth and driving socialism and destroying renewable energy and promoting left-wing ideology.”

...hubiera podido responder golpe a golpe a semejante bola negocial, y no creo que la COM tuviera esta capacidad. Un poco un 'chicken game' en el cual las teníamos todas para ser los primeros a poner el freno.
Pasaría página con este 15% y pensaría a cómo hacer para que no se repita más
Quizás te he leído mal, pero si, en esto coincidimos. Por lo que he leído, las múltiples reuniones que los equipos de las dos partes han mantenido desde Abril, han dejado claro que los EE.UU. chantajeaban y mezclaban aspectos no comerciales (seguridad, DSA, AI Act, etc..). Sólo un actor unitario...
Aquí el FT lo relata muy bien, la batalla no se perdió el 27 de Julio sino en Abril cuando, tácitamente, se consensuó no ir a por una 'trade war'. Y no lo decidió la Comisión por si sola.

Creo que la Comisaria quiera decir otra cosa. El papel de la Comisión depende, en la política comercial, de un mandato, más o menos flexible, de los EE.MM. Con la fragmentación de intereses nacionales e industriales de la UE en relación a la postura de Trump, la Comisión puede solo quedar mal.
If it was only a matter of market power. This has been the first truly important geoeconomic negotiation the EU has experienced so far. Imagine the (un)veiled threats made by the US. That said, I'll be waiting for the 'details' of the agreement, esp. the regulatory ones. That's what scares me.
This seems to me a fairly good account of how the EU-US negotiation has folded out since April.
Pick the side you want to blame, the path not taken back in April or anything could have leveraged EU bargaining stance.
My (sad) take: not much the EU could have done better

Isn't this a not so subtle tactic to add 'issues' to the grievances for watering down EU DSA and AI Acts within the framework of the trade 'negotiation' (blackmailing) between the US and the EU. Particularly Meta has so unabashedly embraced Trump's spearheading support against EU regulation

The geopolitical pendulum is swinging back to something more akin to the Congress of Vienna than the Yalta conference: the return of 'spheres of influence' (which is, historically, a lull of harmony before the quest for hegemony)
