A, said on Sunday (27) the president of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, after meeting with the US President ,. At the end of a meeting of just over an hour, von der Leyen said this is “a good deal.” In turn, Trump stated that the understanding achieved is good “for everyone.”

Given this scenario, the EU struggled to achieve a negotiated solution to avoid a trade war of unpredictable consequences. At the same time, the EU had advanced in defining a huge package of reprisals for negotiation efforts not to prosper.
