Kdor je kdaj videl Jeana Claudea Junckerja v akciji – v pogajanjih, ga ne more preveč začuditi, da če kdo, lahko on Trumpa pripelje do kompromisa. Juncker je (zanemarimo tukaj njegove luksemburške davčne posle in zasebne razvade od žensk do pijače) res dober pogajalec. Trumpa je tokrat prepričal s preprostimi kartami z nekaj ključnimi številkami, s katerimi je Trumpu osnovnošolsko ponazoril, kaj bi pomenila eskalacija trgovinske vojne med gospodarskima velesilama. Art od deal po Junckerjevo:
Mr. Juncker grabbed the opportunity to argue that both sides need to refrain from further punitive tariffs or they would foolishly harm themselves.
“If you want to be stupid,” he told Mr. Trump, “I can be stupid, as well.”
Backing up his points, Mr. Juncker flipped through more than a dozen colorful cue cards with simplified explainers, the senior EU official said. Each card had at most three figures about a specific topic, such as trade in cars or standards for medical devices.
“We knew this wasn’t an academic seminar,” the EU official said. “It had to be very simple.”
