Lol the EU isnt even invited to negotiations. The US doesnt need their lap dog, they can speak for themselves.

Which is exactly how much it means to everyone else as well

I'm gonna be shocked if the EU is around in a decade. The economic situation in Europe is dire, and nationalist parties are gaining ground all across Europe. The liberal parties might hold them back for an election or two using coalitions, but eventually they will get in power as the standard of living continues to collapse. And there will likely be all kinds of ladder pulling even before that happens.
