Dope1: Okay. Here's the interesting part:

“Nonetheless, we stand ready to negotiate with the United States. Indeed, we have offered zero-for-zero tariffs for industrial goods, as we have successfully done with many other trading partners, because Europe is always ready for a good deal,” she said.

So other people have gotten this deal...just not us. Okay, Europe.

Umm, what now?

Actually, here's the interesting part (which, of course, you neglected):

Asked when the EU tabled the zero-tariff offer, von der Leyen said the offer was made “long before” Trump’s latest tariff announcement and “repeatedly, for example, in the automotive sector.” She stressed that the EU has long gone “zero for zero with other countries that also have a strong automotive sector.”

So it was offered to us but dimwit wanted his Tariffpalooza.
