Donald Trump likes to deal with. And he is counting that his sudden raising tariffs in the EU will be to open Brussels to give Brussels a big concession as he opens a new front in his World Trade War.
However, this is a risky bet. Although trade talks between the United States and the EU were slowly going on, threatened to threaten Trump 50 per cent of duty From June 5, all imports from the block have dramatically increased economic and diplomatic partnerships.
This step has threatened that the worldwide equity prices were threatened by recent recovery because Trump was triggered by dilmacking and other trading partners towards D-Escreation and by D-ESCECTION UK And ChinaThe It can further damage the strain translatant relationship.
This gambling reflects the frustration of the President and its top officials that they see as EU barrier in the discussion – and believe that Brussels will first accept or will be more damaged than the United States if no agreement.
Bill Ranch, a trade policy expert at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington, said, “This is a classic Trump’s bullying technique, what he does.
“It is intended to bring down the Europeans – they have to read them they will not do it,” he added.
Friday afternoon at the Oval Office, Trump He emphasized that he was not looking for a quick agreement with Brussels, and vowed that 5 percent tariff would be effective according to the plan. “That’s how it is,” he said.
The US Treasury Secretary told Scott Besent Fox News that the purpose of the planned tariff was “setting fire under the EU” – suggest that the discussion was somewhat unrealistic for the discussion before or after June 1.
However, the brink creates uncertainty, warning economists. “The proposed tariffs in the EU highlight the risk of a key forecast by which the tariffs remain as an ongoing tool to be driven by the Trump administration whenever any disguise occurs. Repeated tariff threats and rollbacks will improve policy uncertainty,” consultant Oxford Economics wrote on Friday.
Washington’s precise claims about Brussels are unclear. In his social media post on Friday, Trump has stopped his dissatisfaction with EU tax, regulatory and trade policies, which will be difficult to resolve quickly.
Washington’s trade experts say the administration is disappointed that EU offers are no different from what they have done in the United States in the past.
Kelly Ann Shaw, a former White House official in Trump’s first term, said, “Former White House official Kelly Ann Shaw said,” In the first term of Trump, the former White House official, and Ain Acin Gump’s international trade policy, said Kelly Ann Shit in the International Trade Station, and the Commerce Terminal Termination. The US-EU trade agreement has not been.
“These threats of too much duty create an action by force, where both sides are either going to an agreement or not,” he adds.
“The American outlook is that Europeans do not understand that this time is different, and it is not a conventional discussion,” says Reins of CSIS.
On Friday, EU Trade Commissioner Maro š Ephovio spoke to US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnik and Commerce Representative Jamison Greer, but did not seem to be a breakthrough there.
“The EU-US trade does not match comparatively and must be guided by mutual respect, not threatening. We are ready to protect our interests,” čefčovič Wrote A after discussion in X.
EU officials shake Trump’s claim why one -sided discount on the world’s largest trading block should be given.
They argue that there are about 1 percent point differences between the EU and the US duty and that the value added tax is almost equal to US sales tax.
Brussels also refuses to provide access to the US market in other countries, which will violate the World Trade Organization rules.
Officials also mentioned that when trade policies are conducted by the European Commission, any obstacles in the United States are national.
“EU talker should hold their nerves,” said George Rikel’s, associate director of the European Policy Center in Brussels.
Rikel’s called the EU to the EU, strongly called on Canada and China to copy. “If the EU is ready to fight back, US brutality and enhancement are ultimately so self-conscious that you can enter the contract.”
However, countries like Ireland and Italy, which depend on US exports, strictly triggered against the strong counter -measures – and Trump will calculate the EU’s hand on the skeletons in the blocks to force the hand.
But Washington’s consulting group Rock Creek Global Advisors, former Democratic Congressional Trade Council Michael Smart, warned, “If Trump’s plan was to divide the block, it would probably have the opposite effect”.
Most member states have still supported the commission’s attraction view so far, but to eat time, believe that Trump finally will be lagging behind its tariffs that will be damaged in the US economy. They have indicated that Brussels is the mind to stand in the first.
“Markets are one of the reasons for calm, they have already failed to discount Trump,” said an EU diplomat.
“We do not make policy decisions on the basis of tweet, not at least at the Atlantic,” another said.
