Fair enough, it would be good for their energy independence but not sure they would want to stick to a timeline. Even if they did, not sure they would agree to an enforcement mechanism given they see themselves as a superpower (which they are) and wouldn’t want to be told what to do by the EU (not really a superpower even if on paper it could be) if any targets slipped.

Even so, I hope they can come to a deal. It would help both sides I think even if working with the Chinese will be a tricky business given their less than stellar human rights practices

Can't read but will comment on the title.

The idea would be very cool but I don't know how serious China is on cutting down their emissions (especially at the expense of their exports being more expensive).

Just the EU and UK could feaisbly do it but it seems politicians are starting to push back against green policies since there is a belief they will hinder rather than help growth. Whether that is true or not is up for debate but I think it would be a missed opportunity for the EU/UK to miss out on another technological advancement that might pay dividends in the future. For example, figuring out how to use Hydrogen as a replacement for LNG could then be exported all over the world. Might bean renewables could have their excess energy stored efficiently.

That's upsetting, haven't heard much from them since the early days of the Ai boom

Oh interesting, didn't know about that. So Trump can pretend he made a deal that was already done just by getting Canada to throw in 'Fentanyl Czar'. What a deal maker /s

Hope Canada continues to avoid American products and diversifies who they supply their exports to

Good on ya and keep it up!

That's fair, for him it's a win but in reality it doesn't actually fix a problem since there wasn't one to begin with

Very true, it's a symbiotic relationship (or was anyway, the bigger party has changed it's mind)

As a Brit, I’d be sad they got to join but also quite proud of our daughter

Sort of, I’d say he winced. He still got a stronger boarder which was something he was wanting (cause Canada is the problem /s) but obviously the trade deficit didn’t change.

We’ll truly know if he is blinking if he follows through on the tariffs in a month. I just hope Canada (and others) wake up and realise they can’t depend on the US anymore. They should diversify themselves as much as possible as quickly as possible

Where is Mistral in all this? If they haven’t joined, they should join too!

I just meant generally, not sure what 'open source' means in the context of ai (not a programmer)

They didn't really praise them. They just hoped that the republicans would go back to being against big tech (like they used to be 10 years ago he claims). Obviously, Trump's not going to do that but I think we can all agree big tech is a big problem
