President Donald Trump threatens 50% of tariffs on all imports From the European Union if a trade agreement cannot be reached by July 9. The recent judgment of the International Trade Court is unlikely to slow Trump’s efforts, given the many holes and a possible reversal of the Supreme Court. Refugees from Europe is loud and multilingual – and we must neglect it.
At the beginning of my term as an ambassador to the EU during Trump’s first term, I invited members of the European Round Table for lunch. I asked these executive directors of the biggest companies in Europe if they owned property to the United States, they said everything. “But how do you eat in America?” I asked. “What are you driving? Do you be proud of your cars and food with you?” They laughed and said that the reluctance of our products had nothing to do with us food or production. That these closed doors are European protectionism. In short, our cars are reliable, our vegetables are healthy, they just want to win.
When it comes to trade, they have won for decades and that has to change.
Trump’s heavy policies push UK, EU, to significantly expand trade and defense
When Trump spoke to EU head Ursula von der Leyen on May 25, she called a conversation with him, a “good call” and promised that “Europe is ready to quickly and decisively improve conversations,” collection: “To achieve a good job, it will take us time by July 9.”

What two in conversation means that now they are looking for deeply to come into their red lines when it comes to us. Europe He loves the show with no result. I know how to negotiate with them-I can move more slowly than the French Escargota is the result of Escargota. It’s nice. It’s cosmetic. It’s pointless.
Previously, we have repeatedly dealt with trade conversations, and leaders like von der Leyen prayed for more time, promising to seriously appear. The reality is that they will have meetings, but they will refuse to eliminate or even move their red lines at the United States store. They have to.
Musk says he hopes ‘zero tariff’, freedom of trading zone between the US -ai Europe
America deserves to be treated differently than any other commercial partner, and this is also counted on our question about China. If we take weapons, the EU must support our sanctions. We want the EU to collapse on countries in its block acting in its interest, as opposed to contributing to the economic interests of the Alliance. We deserve reciprocity in trade with concessions deep and material.
USA Trade deficit with EU is balloning. He left with $ 45 billion in 1999. At $ 235 billion at 2024. If we include services last year, the trade deficit is reduced only at $ 161 billion.
US Presidents from Clinton to Trump were relaxed with significant trade resistance from the EU. Not wanting to admit, even under unilateral pressure, they cried about what they thought was a conversion of American and always chosen multilateral solutions – like strengthening WTOs – to find stability and predictability.
When Trump recently said, “they have behaved very badly over the years,” he was in place.
In 1999, when President Bill Clinton was busy with “banan wars”, claiming that American fruit importers should have free access to the EU market, Total American global Trade deficit It was a record of almost $ 170 billion at the time, and over $ 43 billion came across the EU. In 2002, George W. Bush imposed steel tariffs for the protection of local manufacturers, during the year when our EU trade deficit increased to $ 86 billion. During Trump’s first term, our trade deficit went from $ 151 billion in 2017 to $ 182 billion in 2020. Now at $ 235 billion, you can understand why it is angry.
Trump does not negotiate, he is deadly serious. He wants a fair share of their market and for the EU to treat us completely different from any other shopping partner because we earned it. Not only from a decade of long imbalance, but from a security guarantee America has provided as long. Have to get over their strict a tax added tax, Health and digital regulations and make decisions that reflect our common history.

Trump is doing something great and immediately while the EU is once again preparing to play the rope-a-tap with us. He says you can have all your regulations and juicy red European tomatoes, but you have to pay 50% of tariffs. Is that worth it?

Europeans should be exposed to American products. Trump does not force anyone to buy them, just to have access. If the way Americans do things do not encounter European taste or sensibility, let the market speak for themselves. And vice versa. All we ask is Fer Hitac.
Which countries impose the most tariffs of the US?
I predict that the EU will vack us through its organic, manicured gardens, with no result. I think Trump predicts that too. 9. July will come in without the significant concessions made by the EU, forcing the president to impose significant tariffs. They will cause extreme pain on both sides, but negotiations between us are like breaking a horse. Trump is tied and determined not to bend their knee, but to treat us differently from other trade partners. And when they do, I’m sure we’ll listen. If Americans love European products better than ours, okay. American manufacturers will have to figure it out.
The American trade deficit with the EU is balloning. He left with $ 45 billion in 1999. At $ 235 billion at 2024. If we include services last year, the trade deficit is reduced only at $ 161 billion.
Repeating a trade imbalance is not a lot of money in a large scheme of things, but it is a sign of gratitude and respect for what they have done in the past 80 years. Many Europeans still claim that Marshall have sponsored the US in favor of Europe and ours. That’s stupid.

Think about this way. If two friends, one richer, one poorer, regularly go out for dinner, and it always pays, that makes sense. If a poorer friend needs surgery and the richer offers to cover it, it still makes sense. Their appreciated is a significant friendship. But if one day a poorer friend comes to wealth and has the opportunity to help a person who consistently supported him for decades and then refuses, there is a major problem.
Now and the EU are these two friends. No one wants this relationship to fall apart, and all eyes are on the EU, because the world knows how long they have picked up the check now. We ask a friend’s service because it’s simply their turn to pay.
