Trump has imposed a 20% import tariff on the EU, but is now talking about the fact that Europe should make reparations.

He is not clear about what we should make reparations for, according to Trump. The question is whether he still knows what the word reparations means. His dementia is increasing rapidly and every now and then he uses a new word and keeps repeating it as if he has heard that word for the first time.

Or has he recently heard something about Marshall aid after WWII and does he think he can cash in now?

The latter... that he only heard about Marshall aid now, I can imagine, because Trump has had little interest in history in the past. Something like Marshall aid will sound very unlikely to him. He certainly will not understand what it did for the economy either.

In any case, Europe does not owe him anything. So he can forget about his reparations.

In my eyes it is clear, Europe must 'break away' from the US in every possible way. The US has become a potential enemy, just like Russia. Just look at what it wants to do with Greenland and Canada.

In any case, Europe must bring its gold home and stop using the dollar as a world currency. In Germany, voices are already being raised to bring the remaining gold reserves from the US back to Germany.
