European leaders warned Monday to the threat of US President Donald Trump to expand customs to the EU risks initiating the trade war that would inflict economic damage on both partial parties.
The High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Policy and Safety Kaja Kallas said that if the USA and Europe begins the trade war “then China is laughing at the side.”
– We are very interconnected. We need America, and America we needed, “she said, speaking to the noticed conference leader of the EU in Brussels.
Trump said that 27 countries in the European Union are the following in order after its decision to introduce comprehensive customs customs, Canada and China.
– That will definitely happen to the European Union. I can tell you that because they really used us – told Trump journalists on Sunday, repeating complaints to the trade deficit.
– They don’t take our cars, they don’t take our agricultural products. They don’t take almost anything, and we take them all – he added.
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz had a more cautious tone, inviting the EU and the United States to work together.
– It is clear that as a strong economic area we can shape their own future and react to tariff policies … but the perspective and goal should be that things result in cooperation – he said.
