EU leaders discuss new US trade proposal as clock ticks
French President Emmanuel Macron has a difficult attitude to discuss the proposals of a new trade agreement in European leaders in Brussels, and on July 9, before the end of a tariff sequel, time is going to find a common position.
Macron warned that the response of Europe should have an equivalent effect if the basic tariff rate of 10 percent remains in force.
The European Commission President Ursula von said on Thursday that the EU received the “latest US document ı for more negotiations with tariffs.
After the summit, he told reporters, “All options remain on the table,” he said.
“We are evaluating this (…) Today, our message is open. We are ready for an agreement. At the same time, we are preparing to reach a satisfactory agreement. So we consulted the re -balancing list and will defend Europe’s interest as needed.”
European leaders decided whether they want to make a quick trade agreement with President Donald Trump’s management or whether they continue to fight for a better agreement, and the two largest economies in Europe are apparently contradictory.
Chancellor Friedrich Merz from Germany said that at the beginning of this week, the EU should make a “faster” and “simpler” agreement, while the French authorities argued that the commission should take a more strict stance and target US services.
President Emmanuel Macron said on Thursday that France wanted a fast and pragmatic trade agreement with the US, but would not accept its country’s unstable conditions.
The French President said that all vehicles should be used to provide a fair agreement.
Imiz Our honor should not be seen as a weakness, Mac said Macron.
Trump threatened to increase tariffs on EU goods to 50 percent unless there was an agreement next month.
This week, the EU Summit, which has accepted to greatly increase defense expenditures at the military alliance, found it difficult to pay some European countries and clearly disabled Spain.
In addition to the tariffs, the EU block has to deal with a number of other problems, including the support of Ukraine, and a country that is still fighting against nuclear armed Russia. Against Hungary.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy called on the EU to cross a new sanction package targeting oil trade and banks to Russia and to give a clear signal to the EU participation.
