The EU and its member states are independent. The USA cannot blackmail the
EU or any of its member states. The economic power (superseding that of the
USA) of the EU and independence from USA markets doesn't put the USA in a

EU as this would seriously damage growth in the USA and no president/party
could survive it :-)
