On February 26, 2025, U.S. President Trump launched a scathing attack on the European Union, accusing its formation of being intended to "screw the United States," and threatened to impose a 25% tariff on EU goods. Trump stated there is a trade deficit of about $300 billion between the U.S. and the EU, accusing the EU of refusing to accept U.S. cars and agricultural products, and he is determined to take strong measures to address this issue. Trump emphasized that tariffs would cover various goods, including automobiles.
In response, the EU reacted swiftly, warning that the measure would severely damage U.S.-EU trade relations and adversely affect the global economy. The European Commission stated that if the U.S. proceeds with this move, the EU will "respond resolutely" and ensure protection for European businesses, workers, and consumers from unreasonable tariffs.
Germany also made it clear it opposes the unilateral trade policy of the U.S. German Chancellor Scholz and Economy Minister Habeck both stated that if the U.S. implements the tax plan, Germany will take corresponding countermeasures. The German automotive industry is particularly concerned that the tariff policy would significantly increase costs in the U.S. market and could threaten hundreds of thousands of jobs.
French Minister of Economy and Finance Lombard stated that if the U.S. increases tariffs, the EU will respond in kind. Tensions between EU leaders and U.S. officials are escalating, and both sides have begun preparing for a potential tariff war.
Meanwhile, a report from the Kiel Institute for the World Economy in Germany indicated that if the U.S. imposes a 25% tariff on the EU, it will lead to economic contraction on both sides and increase inflation, severely impacting market stability in both the U.S. and EU. U.S. tariff measures may also undermine its own competitiveness, raising costs for consumers and manufacturers.
This trade friction ostensibly centers on economic issues, but it also reflects differing stances between the U.S. and the EU in the global trade order, especially amidst the current complex international situation. How Europe navigates U.S. hardline policies while protecting its interests and promoting dialogue is a major challenge.
