SMM4, 10th: Trump has done something to the European Union! Yesterday, Trump announced on Twitter that the United States would tax $11 billion worth of EU products. Trump said the European Union has been taking advantage of the United States in trade for years, and he is coming to end it.

 

To this day the words of Lettershitzer and Bonne have come true one by one. In February, the Commerce Department submitted an investigation into the impact of car imports on US national security, giving Mr Trump three months to consider whether to impose taxes on big car exporters such as the European Union and Japan. It can be said that it is already on the line, whether or not to send out a sentence from Trump, so Japan will be in a hurry immediately. The first round of trade talks between the United States and Japan will be held in Washington on the 15th of this month, and the trade negotiations between the United States and Europe have been delayed again and again. France adheres to its own views and is unwilling to hastily start the "30" free trade negotiations between the United States and Europe, and hopes to consider negotiating authorization for the European Union after the European Parliament elections on 23-26 May. At this time, the US Government happened to use the pretext of Airbus subsidies to do so first.

It is reported that the tariff list proposed by the US Trade Representative is 14 pages long, including Airbus aircraft, salmon, cheese, wine, and so on. Lettershitzer said that when the European Union ends harmful subsidies, Tariffs imposed by the United States in response can be removed. The US also said it would publish a final list of products once the WTO reported on the range of tariffs that could be levied.

Trump also made it clear after he announced tariffs on EU products, saying the move was only part of the dispute over air subsidies, not to put pressure on difficult negotiations that could lead to an EU trade deal. In addition, cars are not really involved in the list.

No matter how the US authorities publicize it, in short, a trade war between the United States and Europe will have to be fought, and if Trump decides that you have taken advantage of the United States, you will not be able to escape his revenge. Trump is now fighting on the three lines of China, Japan and Europe at the same time, and he is fighting with the Democratic Party at home. I am afraid Trump's troubles will not stop.
