Great Gazoo's Gone Global!

Yabba Dabba Doo! Fred Flinstone here reporting live from my Stone Age living room! Seems like that Great Gazoo's causing trouble again only this time it's not just messing with Bedrock it's the whole darn world! I hear tell the European Union that's like a bunch of countries all huddled together is having a real Barney Rubble style feud with the United States. Apparently this fella named Trump sounds like a noisy dinosaur if you ask me put some hefty tariffs on cars and car parts. Now the EU's saying "Hold on there Trumpasaurus!" and wants to fight back!

Wilma! Get My Club! (For Negotiating Of Course)

These Europeans they ain't takin' it lyin' down Wilma! They're going to that World Trade Organization sounds like a fancy Bedrock bowling league if you ask me to complain about these 'reciprocal' tariffs. They're also threatening to slap tariffs on a whole mountain of American stuff – poultry grains and even metals! Imagine no more brontosaurus burgers! What's a caveman to do? It's enough to make a fella yell "Yabba Dabba Don't!"

A Hundred Billion Clams! Holy Brontosaurus!

Now get this Wilma! This list of stuff they might tax adds up to 95 billion euros! That's like a hundred billion clams! I could buy a whole fleet of foot powered cars with that kind of dough! The EU bigwigs like this Ursula von der Leyen she says they still wanna make a deal. But if Trump keeps playin' rough they're ready to rumble!

Take it to the Mattress

It sounds to me like they want to take this to the mattress! To 'negotiate' is what they say. It's all to avoid that Trump fella putting a 20% tax on everything the US buys from the EU. Imagine that 20% more on everything! At this rate I would not be able to afford Dino Biscuits!

Even Britain's Getting In On It!

And hold your dino hats folks! Seems like Britain that's like Bedrock's neighbor across the ocean is about to strike a deal with the U.S. Talk about steppin' into the middle of a rock fight! They’re probably thinking "Yabba Dabba Doo! More rocks for us!" but I reckon they're in for a surprise.

Here Comes Trouble

All this tariff talk has me saying "Doh!" I'm no Great Gazoo but this whole shebang sounds like trouble. Let's hope they can all sit down share a brontosaurus rib and work things out before this turns into a real Stone Age war! And that's the news from Bedrock! Fred Flinstone over and out! Yabba Dabba Doo!
