Trump wary of EU trade offer while Japan being ‘tough’
US President Donald Trump said that Japan’s trade talks were “difficult, and that the European Union thought that it was a fair agreement, because a team led by Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said that Trump stayed at the G7 meeting in Canada to continue to work on trade problems after leaving early.
Trump said that journalists in Air Force One should present a “good agreement veya to the US or encounter higher tariffs.
Trump spoke after leaving the G7 summit early to focus on the Middle East.
He told journalists that they stayed in Kanaskis, Bessent, Alberta.
White House officials, US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer and National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett stayed in Canada and will meet with his colleagues, he said.
They said that Trump came together with all G7 members, but did not see the leaders of India, Australia or Mexico, which was scheduled to meet in Canada this week.
“We’re talking, but I don’t feel a fair agreement yet, Tr Trump said from the EU.
“Either they will do something good or they will just pay everything they need to pay.”
European Commission President Ursula von Der Leyen, G7 Summit to the journalists in a statement, after a 90 -day pause on July 9, the target will still reach an agreement before entering the high mutual tariffs, he said.
“This is complex, but we are moving, I am very challenging to get this good and more speed, so we are involved in negotiations and we will see what the end brings,” he said.
Trump also said there was a chance to trade agreement between the US and Japan.
“They are difficult, the Japanese is difficult, but ultimately, you should understand that we will send a letter that says ‘this is what you will pay, otherwise you don’t have to do business with us.’ But there is a chance,” he said.
Trump also said that drug tariffs come very soon and repeated a threat to imposing import tax on medical goods in order to force drug producers to reproduce the USA.
“We will do medicines very soon. This will bring all companies back to America,” he said.
“Most of them will at least bring them back.”
Matthew Goodman, a former US officer at the Foreign Relations Council and a former senior official, said that it is always the “stretching target ı to reach any agreement beyond concluding the conditions of a limited agreement with England at the G7 summit of Trump.
The US-UK agreement, which was announced by Trump and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, confirmed the quotas and tariff rates in England cars and eliminated tariffs in the Aviation sector, but the steel and aluminum problem was not solved.
Most of the other major US trade partners were still negotiating with Trump to try to strengthen an agreement with Trump before the end of the three -month “liberation day” tariffs within three weeks.
Goodman, “I think 9 July real deadline. That’s when the 90 -day pause ends and Trump and his team are trying to use them as maximum pressure to provide more space,” he said.
Trump pointed out that he could extend the last date for negotiations, but the US tariffs repeated the threat of sending letters to other countries they will face.
