EU-US

Barely a month into his presidency, Joe Biden had a message for Europe. "America is back," Biden told the Munich Security Conference in 2021. "The transatlantic alliance is back." It was a promise Biden delivered often as he sought to cast the disruptions of his predecessor, Donald Trump, as an anomaly. But nearly five years later, Biden's assurances have proven short-lived. In his second term, Trump has cast aside alliances forged over seven decades with Europe that helped lead to the reunification of Germany and the collapse of the Soviet Union.

I have authorised a 90 day PAUSE, Trump said, after recognising the more than 75 countries that he said have been negotiating on trade and had not retaliated against his latest increases in tariffs. Countries subject to the pause will now be tariffed at 10%. The EU's rate was 20%, but it was not entirely clear how the 27-nation bloc would be impacted. China was not included. Trump further jacked up the tax rate on Chinese imports to 125%. Von der Leyen described the halt on reciprocal tariffs as an important step towards stabilising the global economy. Clear, predictable conditions are essential for trade and supply chains to function. Before Trump's announcement on Wednesday, EU member countries voted to approve retaliatory tariffs on $2
