In principle I agree with your opinion on the issue. I wouldn't have wanted to join the EU. Especially if I was a northern and western European country.
That said... THIS IS EXACTLY WHY TRADE BLOCS FORM.
Just like on the playground where you have the big bully, in this case Trump, what do all the other little kids do? Team up to take him on.
Optics and MAGA aside this is now the second time in as many months Trump's blinked at the EU.
