In a video posted to X on Monday, European Union Commission President Ursula von Der Leyen unambiguously stated that “Europe is ready to negotiate with the United States.”
Her post reflects what she said in her 22 second video clip:
“Europe is ready to negotiate with the US. We have offered zero-for-zero tariffs for industrials goods. Because we’re always ready for a good deal. But we’re also prepared to respond with countermeasures. And protect ourselves against indirect effects through trade diversion.”
NBC News reports that on Wednesday, Trump’s “reciprocal” tariffs on the E.U. will take effect for most goods and “the bloc already faces 25% tariffs on steel and aluminum from the U.S.”
Germany does not sell American vehicles.
Germany exports best hospital technology.
Italy makes the best saw blades, drill bits.
And so on, and so on
Most European countries have defined their own specializations, perfected them to the nth degree, and, thanks to the DEMON RAT presidents, raped all manufacturing to other countries. We have to buy what we used to be the best at making
PRESIDENT TRUMP has a very hard job on his hands. I pray fervently he will bring back the kind of manufacturing that will put us back on top. And send those DAVOS organizers and ASPEN IDEAS TRAITORS to hell
