The United States is giving Europe an ultimatum, and this is in response to European nations

fining, taxing, punishing, going after American companies, especially in big tech.

And the US is now saying that they're going to have, well, no choice but to begin using every tool

at the US's disposal to counter what they're referring to as really irresponsible measures

from Europe. On another topic, rents are starting to go down in parts of the country, but not everywhere.

It turns out that much of this has to do with deportations and mass migration and sanctuary cities

could still see long-term problems with high rents.

Now on another topic, youth in Asia is starting to become more common right here in the United States,

and this is starting to change the very nature of our health care system.

We're talking about these topics and a lot more today.

I'm the Epic Times Senior Investigator reporter Joshua Phillip, and you're listening to Crossroads.

The United States is giving Europe an ultimatum, and this move is in response to European nations, which have been fining and taxing American companies, especially in big tech, which

has led to attempts to even enforce European law right here in the United States, including,

by the way, against basic freedom of speech of private citizens.

And now while the United States is pushing back with an ultimatum, stating that if these actions continue,

America will begin acting in kind.

Now, this is the United States Trade Representative and says,

the European Union and certain EU member states have persisted in a continuing course of discriminatory

and harassing lawsuits, taxes, fines, and directives against U.S. service providers.

Now, look, we don't often think of discrimination against Americans as discrimination.

They can say things about Americans that if they said about other groups in their country, we get them thrown in jail for like 18 months.

But it's typically not regarded as such when you're going after Americans.
