2025-07-02 18:52:37
According to CCTV news, former German Chancellor Angela Merkel, who attended the event in Athens, Greece on July 2 local time, said that if the tariffs of the Trump administration in the United States cause American citizens to pay more for goods, then Trump will also be affected. Merkel said that the European Union must be united and should not be afraid when Trump imposes more tariffs on the European Union, but should fight back with its own tariffs. The European Union must negotiate with the United States to resolve the tariff issue. US President Trump has threatened to impose 50% tariffs on European Union goods if there is no breakthrough in US-EU trade talks by July 9. Currently, the United States imposes a 50% tariff on European Union steel and aluminum products, a 25% tariff on the automotive sector, and a 10% benchmark tariff on almost all other goods.
