“We have an Anti-Coercion Instrument, and we will have to use it,” Agriculture Commissioner Christophe Hansen said in Paris after meeting with his French counterpart Annie Genevard at the Salon de l’Agriculture farming exhibition.

You have a better understanding than dumbass trump. He's surrounded himself with sycophants that will agree to his stupidest ideas so that they can get a greenlight for their pet projects.
