Donald Trump’s top trade negotiator, US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, isn’t sure who to talk to in Europe about a dispute that threatens to wreck the €1.6 trillion transatlantic trade relationship.

Who handles trade in the EU? The US isn’t sure.

Even after several visits by EU officials to Washington to discuss trade, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent says he doesn’t know who to talk to on the Brussels side to hash out a deal.

I’ve negotiated a lot of international business deals in my career. Speaking as an experienced professional I can inform everyone that anyone asserting they’ve got 90 deals when they don’t even know who they’re talking to suggests they’re just talking to themselves. Those are easy to close!

Another guy to blame the EU. We are used to this.

Maybe talk to Trump first and point out his bad decisions.

They know perfectly well. The reason US trade negotiators hate the EU is because EU trade negotiators are very competent and drive a very hard bargain.

This is the whole point: to place as many unqualified yesmen in positions so to destroy the system from within....therefore we are alone...and isolationism is inevitable...this in turn creates an environment where the people are desperate and easily manipulated.

Translation: I want to discuss deals with other gangsters and also suggest the EU is 'difficult'.

He clearly cannot figure out basic stuff in his briefing. I'm not sure this is a guy Europe wants to talk to.

So that’s okay because this mf doesn’t know his job? Feigning ignorance is ok?

This is just another rhetorical manoeuvre by Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent to belittle the EU and portray it as a 'chaotic mess'. This, by the way, is a Politico article from 26 February 2025.‘Scheduling issues’ scupper Rubio-Kallas meeting in Washington - www.politico.eu/article/kaja...

He dug up some quote that maybe Kissinger never said, "Who do I call if I want to call Europe?" And I literally talked back to the TV in the gym, "There's a whole European Union!"

He calls Maroš Šefčovič, who - as it happens - has already been kind enough to call on him. Come on, Politico; I know you're shite, but even you're not *this* shite! You uncover that Scott Bessant is either drunk or high: you run with *that* as your story. Not just repeat his dribbling nonsense.
