Politico: “On everything from trade and taxes to coronavirus vaccines, U.S. President Joe Biden is transpiring to be every inch as much of a pain in Brussels’ bureaucratic backside as his predecessor — hitting the EU exactly where it hurts, while robbing it of the moral high ground it loves to occupy. Biden’s bombshell proposal to waive intellectual property rights on coronavirus vaccines is a perfect case in point.”
“America’s vaccine gambit is not a one-off. In only a few months, Biden has exposed both the folly in the EU’s trade policy toward China and Europe’s lack of ambition in plans to tax digital multinationals… A hundred days into the new administration, the Europeans are starting to sense that they are being offered pretty tough love from their ally.”
