The planned duties of the US president Donald Trump They will negatively affect the world, with the damage depending on how far they will reach, how long they will last and whether they will lead to successful negotiations, its head said today. European Central Bank (ECB) Christine Lagarde.

“It will be negative for the whole world and the density and duration of the impact will vary depending on the range, the products that will be targeted, from how long it will last, whether there will be negotiations or not,” Lagarde told Irish radio station Newstalk.

“Because, let’s not forget, quite often these duty escalations, because they prove to be harmful, even for those who impose them, lead to negotiating tables where people sit and discuss and eventually abuse some of these obstacles,” he concluded.

Ms Lagarde added: “I don’t think I have ever mentioned the word uncertainty as many times as in recent weeks, because we just don’t know today, which is supposed to be the day that will be announced, what (the US) will do in relation to the rest of the world.”

So far, neither the size nor the target of duties are known, as the final decisions on tariff increases, after informing the White House, are pending.

US media, trying to solve the mystery, previously made a reason for imposing duties approximately 20% on most imports in the United States.

What is expected is to impose the imposition of duties on all the United States imported cars.

OR European Union He is taking a fight with European Commission President Ursula von der Laienne, to say that Brussels has a “ready -made retaliation plan”. Speaking to the European Parliament, he stressed that the European Union would negotiate from a “position of power”, as “Europe has many papers. From trade and technology to the size of our market. “

Economists are talking about overthrowing the global trade regime of the last 50 years, expecting markets, which are consistently allergic to uncertainty, will be shaken and predicts slower economic growth and higher inflation.

At the same time, according to analysts, the Trump method of imposing duties does not serve as a policy tool, but as a pressure lever to secure other exchanges, with the President of the United States faithful to the doctrine of “first America” ​​to choose who will reward and who will not be rewarded and who will not be punished.

As the US president has emphasized a few hours ago, the duties “are reciprocal, so what they charge us, we charge them too”, with the only difference, as he explained, that “we are more polite. We have many countries and enemies, but in many cases the friend is worse than an enemy. “

And as uncertainty culminates, the trade war that Donald Trump himself declared against the world community is entering a new phase, with Goldman Sachs estimating that the chances of a US recession is now 35%.
