The president of the United States, Donald Trump, believes that trade negotiations with the European Union “are not being fruitful”, so he has recommended imposing a 50% tariff on their products from next June 1.
“Our conversations with them are not paying fruit! Therefore, I recommend a direct 50% tariff for the European Union as of June 1, 2025,” Trump announced through his profile in Truth Social, adding that “no tariff will be applied if the product is manufactured in the United States.”
The White House tenant has insisted that the European Union was created “with the main objective of taking advantage of the United States in the commercial sphere.”
In this sense, he has accused the EU that his commercial barriers, VAT, “ridiculous” corporate sanctions, non -monetary commercial barriers, monetary manipulations, “unjustified” demands against US companies, among others, have generated a commercial deficit with the United States that reaches “a totally unacceptable figure.”
“The European Union, created with the main objective of taking advantage of the United States in commerce, has been very difficult to manage. Its powerful commercial barriers, VAT, ridiculous corporate sanctions, non -monetary commercial barriers, monetary manipulations, unjustified demands against US companies, among others, have generated a commercial deficit with the United States of more than 250 million dollars per year, a figure totally unacceptable.
