Economically though if there were to be tit for tat trade wars would eurpoe not lose out more and be the first to buckle?

I dont see gambling as being an issue that the EU will goto war with the US on, the WTO and whoever may jump up and down a bit but ultimately how much power do they have?

Ultimately the bill has to be defeated from within the US imho, the people looking for the WTO, EU or non US gambling firms to bail them out should be looking at ways that they can try and turn this round internally, I assume through lobbying for some sort of new licencing laws for the US similar to the UK ones.
