“I have not chosen between the United States and the EU,” said Prime Minister Donald Trump after threatening the European Union for trade tariffs.
On the weekend, Trump announced 25 % of tariffs in Canada and Mexico -both have been paused -and he said that he would take the same measures to the EU, but transactions with the UK. Suggested that it could be “solved”.
Keal IR said that both relationships were important to the UK, when they were willing to give the United States aside and are willing to give them a pleasure to give a close relationship with the EU.
“It’s not a new one for me now, so I think it was so and that’s the way it was so many years,” he added.
At a press conference in Brussels, the Prime Minister said that he was “early” for tariff talks with the United States, and he supported “open and strong trade relationships.”
KEIR IR was in Belgium to meet Mark Rutte, Secretary -General of NATO, and attended consultation with EU leaders. This is the first PM since Brexit.
Latte asked about the tension between the United States and the EU, saying, “There is always a problem among allies,” but it is “it will not be a hindrance to our collective determination to keep the deterrent strong.” I mentioned.
In Ukraine, he, in order for Ukraine to negotiate with Russia, NATO, a military alliance of the western countries, “not only maintains but also continuing to strengthen our support. I have to continue. “
He added that spending 2 % of the national income was “not enough to keep us safely,” and that there is no time to waste money.
At present, NATO is calling all member countries to defend at least 2 % of GDP, but it is believed that only 23 of the 32 members have achieved their goals.
Keal IR said that the UK is currently spending 2.3 %, and his government will soon set a “way” to reach 2.5 %.
At a dinner party at the European Council, the Prime Minister seeks more military cooperation between the UK and Europe, including improving military mobility and logistics throughout Europe, focusing on R & D, and deepening industrial cooperation. I did it.
He also stated that there should be more cooperation to protect the state threats and obstructions, including submarine infrastructure. This comes after the UK warns Russia last month after a spy ship was found near the seabed cable.
Defense is the focus of his trip to Brussels, but for Keal IR, it is also part of the continuous bidding to “reset” the relationship between the UK and the EU.
The British government wants to build a more powerful connection with the EU, which may offend the United States and a risk of Britain in the trade war.
Similarly, the EU may oppose Keal with the United States, not a European neighbor.
In the past, no one had previously trusted Trump and pointed out a “really constructive early conversation set” among the two men.
“There is a fair and well -balanced trading relationship that brings profits on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean,” said the spokesman.
“It is worth about 300 million pounds, we are the biggest investors of each other, with 1.2 pounds in each other’s economy.”
Following the announcement of Trump tariffs on weekends, the number of European and Asian stock markets decreased, and automakers were struck by a particularly severe hit.
The UK was also affected, but not much less than the EU.
Analysis created by the University of Sacsex last year suggested that if the United States imposed 20 % of customs duties on all imports, the United Kingdom could face £ 20 billion on exports.
Trump believes that imposing tariffs can help protect the US economy’s growth and employment, but the price can lead to more consumers who pay more to taxes.
On Monday, Mexico’s President Claudia Shainbaum said that 25 % of tariffs was delayed after reaching an agreement with the United States with 10,000 units to work on drug trafficking with the United States.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has also confirmed that 25 % of Trump proposed by Trump for Canadian products will “suspend at least 30 days while we are cooperating.”
The European Commission, Ursla von del Rayen, said that the EU wanted a constructive dialogue with the United States, but it was ready to respond to the new Trump administration.
French President Emmanuel Macron said that if the EU’s profits were attacked, the trading blocks needed to be respected and react.
“There are no winners in the trade war,” said Kajicaras, the director of the EU’s foreign policy, but even if there was a trade war with the United States, “China is laughing on the side.” I mentioned.
“The UK is in a line, but I can solve it … I think I can solve it.”
He added the discussion with the British Prime Minister as “very kind.”
In addition to defense, the United Kingdom wants to discuss restrictions on the transactions of food and animal products and the cooperation of the EU with the EU.
It is also an interesting area that specialized qualifications and touring musicians can travel more easily.
The EU is eager to set up a young mobility skiing. This makes it easier for young EU citizens to study in the UK and work, and vice versa. However, the Minister has so far refused this idea.
Downing Street has not excluded the participation in the Pan Euro -Central Edit Treaty, which enables trade without tariffs on some products.
Conservatives have accused the government that “we are trying to resume past divisions and return us to the EU.”
In contrast, the liberal Democratic leader Ed Davy has negotiated the government a new British EU tariff alliance and allows for a trade without tariffs between them.
Following the announcement of tariffs, Ed IR stated that the US President said that he is behaving like a bully in a playground, and the UK will “cooperate with the Federal and European Allies to strongly endure Trump.” He said he should be.
