You might think it is over attitudes to food or sport, policy towards China or something about the guardrails needed for capitalism. Not a bit of it. The biggest split is over cars. Americans expect to drive huge ones, ideally something that has the heft and noise of an elephant. Europeans are far likelier to opt for smaller beasts. When an American friend once visited, renting a stylish but tiny Fiat 500 at the airport, his teenage daughter was mortified, announcing it was obviously a toy vehicle and not fit for the road. Admittedly, Europeans are also driving bigger cars than they used to https://click.e.economist.com/?qs=95107520b4995d4769fbdf799bef9a4de6b82971005c65916f8c99424c1a8d4f9203572e74a2b34db35961256729513c2495d20812f5b82e080866c9c490ddfd . But Americans increasingly prefer monsters, relishing the thrill of revving up a big truck and judging that, for drivers and their passengers, bigger vehicles bring more safety. Unfortunately, as we set out in a new article published this weekend https://click.e.economist.com/?qs=95107520b4995d4782e0245230d2e3fbd632bb3692206b03fca1bc23568c7e6ef4ec76c04fa47d86baea53c0ce2f9ad7f37b6022c1b3ce729dbdf6aa85c54983 , this is becoming a fatal trend for others on or near the road. The monsters increasingly flatten pedestrians, cyclists and drivers of smaller cars. Last year one pollster noted that 41% of Americans thought SUVs and pickup trucks had grown too big. Too right. Germany is on our minds today. State elections in the east of the country are usually not of huge interest to outsiders, but the two held today help to show how strong extremists are becoming in the political system. The hard-right Alternative for Germany, which stirs up support on the back of hostility to refugees and other migrants, looks to have come top https://click.e.economist.com/?qs=95107520b4995d470a80c1500233c8753fece750bd2422cba198a24588f2b8d958466885045c5fbdc532e671e89525d44fac3f78adb34c7bf5d0e87ad68e3cd6 in Thuringia and appears to have run the conservative Christian Democratic Union close in Saxony—though it won’t be in government in either state. On the hard left, the party of Sahra Wagenknecht, a pro-Russian opposition leader who is hostile to migrants, seems to have come third in both places. (Read our weekend profile of Ms Wagenknecht. https://click.e.economist.com/?qs=95107520b4995d479bb89e3b0630bc90656f24a1711244614c537041fd2042c37910dc17a01b6284d761235ddddc37839f7449198a4538ecdb313497812830a5 ) Our latest Dateline history quiz is now live. Do you remember the year DVDs were launched? Or when Jack the Ripper prowled the streets of London? I certainly didn’t. Finally, our caption competition has been drawing you in in ever greater numbers. Thank you all for voting and for your suggested captions. This week I’ve chosen an image that we used on our cover in 2017. Back then we asked whether social media posed a threat to democracy. What caption would you write for it, or Mark Zuckerberg, today? Write to me at economisttoday@economist.com mailto:economisttoday@economist.com?subject=Caption%20context . Last week we asked you to vote on a shortlist of three suggestions for an image of an overstretched businessman. The winners, by a long stretch, were Keith Parr, David Paterson and Jim, who all proposed “Elon-gated”. Finally, we now want your votes on which of the following three ideas work best with the image, below, of Kamala Harris. You can vote for your favourite entry by clicking the blue tick below your favourite entry. (When you click you’ll be taken to The Economist’s website, but don’t worry—your vote will be registered.)

So far he hasn’t backtracked on his broadly aggressive, incoherent and dangerous policy of lumping high tariffs, eventually, on almost all America’s trading partners. His tit-for-tat <a data-linkto="https://" href="https://click.e.economist.com/?qs=95107520b4995d47ae15282e8838966dd0d7eee0858848319a83489f1a14e7740e9b45205f0ef2ea0bc0b386c9ca1d5be3f03cbda90589228a902fd34c5b36ab" style="text-decoration:none;" title="animosity towards China">animosity towards China</a> has produced a position that, if fully implemented, seems likely to end most direct trade between the world’s two biggest economies.

I can almost hear the chortles of satisfaction from China after his embarrassing reversal this weekend. This concerns those awfully tough-sounding 100%-plus tariffs on imports from China. Mr Trump has said they won’t apply to certain consumer electronics. That means computers and phones, or the bits that make them, shipped from China to America won’t be taxed at the high rate. And, yes, semiconductors, solar cells and more will also be excluded. In similar news, let me announce my new, strict daily exercise regime. You won’t believe how impressively tough it is. (Sidenote: I will exempt myself from working out on weekdays. And at weekends.)<br> <br> That massive, tech-sized hole in Mr Trump’s trade policy towards China will take some explaining. And now, just two days later, it’s unclear whether chips might be included after all. All this to-and-fro obviously makes a mockery of the wider tariffs. My hunch: plenty of other firms will be whispering in Mr Trump’s ear in the coming days, promising all sorts of bonanzas for America’s economy, if only even more tariffs are suspended or lifted. I expect there are more exceptions and adjustments to come.<br> <br> Mr Trump, it turns out, is quite a blinker. He does waver in the face of market worries, after all. In Trump 1 the stockmarkets helped to keep him in check. This time around he seemed to shrug those off. Now it’s clearer where his limits are: it is the bond markets that have a purchase on him. The unexpected sales of Treasuries, midweek, helped to force the postponement of higher-level tariffs on most economies until (at least) July. That Donald Truss moment was a telltale sign: how strong will the president’s resolve be the next time Treasury yields rise fast?<br> <br> In our latest story on America’s self-inflicted economic wounds, we look at the damage <a data-linkto="https://" href="https://click.e.economist.com/?qs=95107520b4995d47b5b1219d02d8ee8b563e75b1dddf811a3135a3d1601f496bb4b12872cc70ff3db64a32a75c4f542e1670ec9f0ced208aab40f41e07f73d97" style="text-decoration:none;" title="a flight from the dollar">a flight from the dollar</a> could do to the country’s already dire public finances. Meanwhile, in Britain, economic worries are more traditional-sounding: the steel industry is almost dead, with the last blast furnaces (for virgin steel) in the country on the brink of closing down.

I’m struck by the hostility that many of you feel towards Frankfurt (<b>Jim Radford</b>, of Canada, calls it “antiquated”, not least because of the heavy use of buses) and Mexico City (<b>Karl Eysenbach</b> laments a lack of places to sit). <b>John Hastings</b>, of Haverford, Pennsylvania, relates a miserable experience in an unheated hangar-like building in Chisinau, Moldova, followed by an unnerving Aeroflot flight. John, your experience sounds grim indeed, but it was 30 years ago. I suspect Moldova has come on in leaps and bounds since then.<br> <br> Finally, I’d like your views on Mr Trump’s apparent peacemaking efforts in Ukraine. His envoy has met Vladimir Putin three times, so far, including a get-together in St Petersburg, to discuss a possible ceasefire.
