The European Union has already approved 17th package of sanctions against Russia and is not going to stop there, writes The Guardian. However, these plans will hang in the air without US support. And the White House made it clear that he was not making a bet on a restriction, but on the resumption of ties with Moscow.
“The hopes of the Europeans that Trump can increase pressure on the Kremlin collapsed after Two -hour telephone conversation of the US President with Putin on Monday“,” The article says. Simultaneously with this news, Trump stunned the European Union by introducing a 50%duty on European goods from June 1. The US President writes that trade negotiations from EU “They do not lead to anything.”
“The European Union, which was created with the main goal of extracting benefits from trade with the United States, turned out to be a very difficult partner. Their powerful trade barriers, value added taxes, absurd corporate fines, non -monotary trade barriers, currency manipulations, unfair and unreasonable judicial claims against American companies and much more led to a trade deficit of more than 250,000,000 dollars a year, which is completely unacceptable. Our negotiations with them do not lead to anything! Therefore, I recommend introducing direct duties of 50% of goods from the European Union since June 1, 2025. Duties will not be charged from goods produced in the USA “– wrote Trump.
PS times sanctions against Russia do not help, and Trump imposes its sanctions, apparently it is necessary … to let in more illegal migrants in the EU. Well, or arrest a couple of Russian spies. At least earlier in the EU leadership they acted.
“Iron Logic”, this can be proud of the current EU leadership.
