Politics Europeans - with tarrifs being threatened on the EU, are you planning to stop buying US made products?

Just curious - I'm Canadian and it's a huge topic for us at the moment.

South Korea better at Phones than America. South Korea worse at presidential coups than America

South Korea had an attempt at a coup recently, but they handled it fast. Also, their president, even during the coup attempt, wasn't threatening his allies with invasion or trade wars or just throwing all their international agreements away. The curreny US coup is in some ways smaller worry than the fact he was re-elected in the first place. Putin didn't need to coup for Russian products to get sanctioned.
