It’s probably better for everyone that I refrain from commenting on soccer. But it seems to me that if there is not a common red line drawn against this, it’s really game over in terms of fair play, trust, enjoyment etc. yes Trump and FIFA are corrupt but come on Team USA don’t spoil it for everyone

The frame Europe is “starting“ a trade war with China is strange. China has been waging trade and industrial policy battle against Europe, sector after sector. EU diplos asked for change nicely for years. Now the EU wants to do something about it and it’s the aggressor? Aha.
