I wouldn't touch anything US-based with 10m long pole.

At this this, US is basically enemy to EU. Good for us, we will be less dependent on US global oil police.

I hope EU companies will stop manufacturing US airplanes and other things.

That the relations between EU and USA are not in an historical maximum, no discussion... but enemy? The hyperbole is a little big too far fetched.

> I hope EU companies will stop manufacturing US airplanes and other things.

Independent of how little we may like current US politics: a) it will probably change, more sooner than later. And b) starting a trade war with the US is not very good idea. We like it or not, there are many things that we need desperately to be able to produce. Starting with computers and SW. And please don't start with "OOS SW" as much as I like the idea, and I constantly advocate for it, even if we start yesterday, it will take decades to build everything again.

People like you drive EU to China instead.

USA an enemy to EU because of Venezuela? LMAO, EU has said nothing. In fact we agree. We have no relations to Venezuela. Now if the USA attacks Greenland, that is different.
