I dont know the details would be that the EU had a bargaining power that could come close to matching that of the US
If the US has Boeing the EU has Airbus
if the US has f-16 jets the EU has dasault rafale
if the US has m1Abraham tanks the Eu has leopard 2 tanks
Yani point bieng the EU is almost self sufficient, they trade what they dont have for what they have with each other wiithin the EU.. So they can afford to say no... As for the rest of us like Kenya we cant afford it, we can only afford to negotiate for a deal where the good outweighs the bad
The best thing right now that the government of kenya can do for the future of its citizens is impliment a project to diversify her exports, if its flowers a quarter goes to Americas market, a quater to africa, a quater to EU and the rest to east(russia,china,s.korea)
That way in the future kenya cannot be leveraged by anyone, if global markets in one part of the world tumbles we wont suffer because our eggs will be in different baskets, no one will be able to have the upper hand whenm negotiating for trade deals, if they threaten to tax us, w''ll just tell them 'fine, we will take our quality products somewhere else, and oh, BTW, you products which you export to us will also from now on attract the same tax that you just proposed.. good by!'
