The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

It's almost as though imposing punitive tariffs someone we wanted - and have spent decades trying to cultivate - as our ally might dissuade them from fostering closer connections with us, and instead go elsewhere? My favorite response so far was Bessent, who was spoke just before the finalized deal was announced.

Trump is yet to react publicly to the EU-India deal, which was announced in the early hours of Tuesday morning European time, but he and the White House are unlikely to be happy with the deal. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has already criticized the EU for forging ahead with a trade agreement with India.

“The U.S. has made much bigger sacrifices than Europeans have. We have put 25% tariffs on India for buying Russian oil. Guess what happened last week? The Europeans signed a trade deal with India,” Bessent told ABC News Sunday.

Right? We put 25% tariffs on India - and can you believe that they actually went out and decided to do a trade deal with someone other than us? Can you believe it?
