Donald Trump's recent announcement of 20% tariffs on nearly all EU imports has ignited fears of a transatlantic trade war, with European leaders preparing responses. The dilemma facing far-right parties, who traditionally support Trump, is intensified by the trade impact on their domestic economies. While some leaders like Italy's Matteo Salvini endorse Trump's measures as beneficial for business, others like Giorgia Meloni express discomfort and call for dialogue. Notably, this situation may bolster unity within the EU as member states confront shared challenges posed by the U.S. administration's policies.
Far-right leaders in Europe face a dilemma: support Trump's trade policies, which could harm their constituents or oppose them, alienating their base.
Despite the discomfort among far-right leaders, Trump's trade war may paradoxically foster greater unity within Europe, as countries rally against external pressures.
