“The European Union, which was created for the primary purpose of exploiting the United States in the trade, was very difficult in negotiations,” Trump said by posting on Truth Social. “Our discussions with them do not lead anywhere!”
For his part, US Finance Minister Scott Bessed He argued that most countries are negotiating with “good faith” except for the EU.
Especially in his post he states:
The European Union, which was created for the primary purpose of benefiting from the United States in Trade, was very difficult in negotiations. Strong commercial barriers, taxes, ridiculous corporate penalties, monetary manipulations, unjust and unjustified lawsuits against US companies and much more have led to a US $ 250,000,000 per year trade deficit, which is completely unacceptable. Our discussions with them do not lead anywhere! As a result, I propose a 50% immediate duty to the European Union, starting from June 1, 2025, there will be no duty if the product is manufactured in the United States. Thank you for your attention on this subject!

It is recalled that the US imposed 25% duties on cars, steel and aluminum from the EU in March and April 20% on other EU products. They then reduced the rate of 20% to July 8, setting a time of 90 days for the tasks.
In response, the EU of the 27 states suspended her own plans to impose retaliation on some American products and proposed zero duties for all industrial products on both sides.
