United States Exploits Europe

How The United States Exploits Europe - Treating Its 'Allies' Like Vassals

July 29, 2025

U.S. EMPIRE - FOLLOW THE MONEY

Geopolitical Economy Report

The one-sided trade agreement that Donald Trump imposed on the EU illustrates how the U.S. empire exploits its "allies" in Europe as vassals to benefit the American oil/gas industry, Big Tech corporations, and the military-industrial complex.

This did not start with Donald Trump, but he has accelerated the vassalization of the European Union. Political economist Ben Norton explains.
