“We remain ready to continue to work to achieve an agreement by 1. Augusta. At the same time, we will take all necessary steps to protect the EU interests, including the adoption of proportional countermeasures if necessary.
Today, Trump announced that from 1. August will be applied by duties of 30 percent to most of the goods imported into the United States. The same percentage is valid for Mexico.
“We discussed our trade relations with the European Union for years and we must move away from these long-standing, large and persistent trade deficits,” Trump written in the European Commission Presidents Ursula Von Der Leyen from Friday, which today published on the Social Network of Truth Social.
The President of the Commission points out that “a little economy in the world that can be measured with the level of openness and adherence to fair trade practices of the European Union”. The EU has consistently given a priority to the agreed solution with the United States, reflecting our commitment to dialogue, stability and constructive transatlantic partnership, says the President of the Commission.
He adds that the 30-percent duties on imports of EU goods largely disrupt the transatlantic supply chains, to the detriment of companies, consumers and patients on both sides of the Atlantic. It also says that the Commission continues to deepen global partnerships with other countries on the principles of international trade based on the rules.
