Anxious Europe for duties, divided for countermeasures
The EU is monitoring the worrying developments without convincing that it is preparing to deal with US duties unanimously.
Yesterday, French President Emmanuel Macron, from Egypt, where he was on an official visit, hoped that Trump would recall his decision to impose duties in the EU.
At the same time, however, in Rome, Italian Prime Minister Georgia Meloni announced that he would go to the US on April 17 for talks with President Trump on duties. Melon has criticized this measure but does not want to disrupt the relationship of the privileged interlocutor he maintains with the US president.
The White House points out that 70 countries have proposed to start talks with Washington on the lifting of US duties, which have come into force on April 2.
Among them is South Korea, which Trump was praised yesterday, because, as announced by the country’s executive debt, Han Tuk, will proceed immediately with bilateral negotiations with Washington to lift duties.
Trump, according to White House spokesman Carolin Livitt, has given his associates to conclude bilateral agreements with the respective countries, which will be “cut and sewn to the measures of the two countries” – the US and the country where the duties have been imposed.
When Musk failed to convince Trump
The escalating concern, internationally, does not hurt Trump. He is convinced that with the protective policy he has pursued, the most intense, since the 1930s, which has been described as a period of great recession, the American economy will recover and that America will become great again, as the motto of the movement promises (Make America Great Again – “
Fears of a global recession do not concern the US president, nor the concerns that even express his close advisers, such as Ilon Musk, the richest man in the world, tasked with Trump “to house” through huge cuts.
According to the Washington Post, Musk attempted, in vain, to persuade Trump for the imposition of duties, which also hit his own businesses -the Tesla automaker, the Space X, the X (former Twitter) platform.
The wild Mask – Navarro quarrel
Musk, whose fortune fell below $ 300 billion for the first time in one year, came into an open conflict with Peter Navarro, a Trump adviser on commerce issues, considered the inspirer of the president’s tariff policy.
Asked about Navarro – Musk rupture, and its impact on American politics, the White House spokesman responded cute, “boys will always be boys.”
