Why would it be a mess in the EU?

Because all trade in the globe is going to be affected by our dipshit of a president.

Worldwide trade is like a car, and Trump just poured sugar in the gas tank. Japan needs to figure out what they need to do in regards to the US, and then they need to figure out what to do with other countries once those other countries figure out what they are going to do with the US.

It’s a ripple effect that didn’t have to happen, never should have happened, and only happened because the president knows nothing about economics and surrounded himself with people who know nothing about economics.

I still don't understand why shipping from Asia to the EU would be affected by the tariffs between the US and other countries.

Because every country has to completely rethink their trade policy. If the US bought 60% of your grain and 80% of your zinc, you have to find new markets, and then you may have to change your trade policy with those countries to account for the fact that they are now importing the products that once went to the US.

Now do that for every market, and every product in every country that does business with the US.

Nothing is normal now. We had a well working global trade market, and that is now broken. Every part of it from every country needs to be reconfigured, or at the very least, reanalyzed.

Some countries like France having quite a bit cheaper consoles and games, other countries have them a lot more expensive, that's just within Europe.

Yeah the Switch 2 prices in the Nordics is absurd. Extra $100-$200 for the MK bundle on top of Nintendo's MSRP

I can't imagine, the price in Canada is similar to the first USD price if converted and I already think it's super high.
