The European Commission has announced a strong stance against the proposed 25 percent tariffs by US President Donald Trump on EU imports. Trump accused the EU of being established to disadvantage the US, citing unfair trade practices, including imbalanced tariff rates on cars. The EU countered that it has been mutually beneficial and pledged to protect its market against unjustified tariffs. This trade conflict highlights the ongoing tensions stemming from Trump's 'America First' policy, with influential voices like former Swedish Prime Minister Carl Bildt criticizing Trump's historical interpretation.
The EU will react firmly and immediately against unjustified barriers to free and fair trade, including when tariffs are used to challenge legal and non-discriminatory policies.
Look, let's be honest, the European Union was formed in order to screw the United States, Trump said. That's the purpose of it, and they've done a good job of it.
