The EU is now barring Chinese medical devices from public contracts, in a move very similar to Trump’s America First trade policy.
After years of mocking Trump, Europe is admitting: He was right. 🧵
2/ For decades, the West tolerated Chinese protectionism.
The theory? “Let them develop. They'll open up later.”
But China never did.
In medical devices, 87% of Chinese government contracts exclude Western firms — including Europe’s.
That’s not trade. That’s cheating.
3/ So what’s Europe doing?
👉 Banning Chinese-made medical devices from public tenders over €5 million
👉 Limiting Chinese content to under 50%
👉 Making exceptions only if no alternatives exist
Translation: China is cut off from Europe’s public health spending.
🚨 WITH LEBANON ENDING HEZBOLLAH, PEACE LOOKS POSSIBLE IN THE MIDDLE EAST
- In just 9 months, Iran’s terror proxies are shattered
- Lebanon is disarming Hezbollah
- Tribal leaders in Hebron are breaking with the Palestinian Authority
Peace is breaking out
Here’s the scoop 🧵
2/ Trump and Netanyahu have flipped the entire region.
Like Reagan, Thatcher & John Paul II in the 1980s, these two great leaders are breaking decades of deadlock.
They aren’t asking terrorists to stop.
They’re defeating them.
And then they’re offering peace.
3/ Start with Hamas:
🔻 95% of its leadership is dead
🔻 80% of its control in Gaza is gone
🔻 Even the BBC admits Hamas’s rule is collapsing
🔻 Armed clans now fill the power vacuum
You’ve heard of the China trade war. But now, Trump’s expanding it into something bigger:
A full-scale economic encirclement of Beijing — using Asia itself.
The plan? Bold. Aggressive. And working.
THREAD 🧵
2/ Trump just launched a new front in the trade war — not with China directly, but with the countries China uses to dodge U.S. tariffs.
Indonesia. Thailand. Cambodia. Even Vietnam.
And he’s slapping massive new tariffs on all of them — unless they cut China out.
3/ It’s already working:
🔨 40% tariff on Chinese goods “laundered” through Vietnam
🔨 Threatened 25–36% tariffs on other ASEAN countries
🔨 “Anti-China clause” in trade deals with Vietnam and Britain
🔨 10% new tariff on any country siding with BRICS
