Silence is waving between von der Lin and Trump in commercial negotiations

“Oh, there will be a trade agreement, 100 %,” Trump said Upon receipt of the Italian Prime Minister, Georgia Meloni. “They want to do a lot, a lot, and we will create a commercial agreement, and wait completely. But it will be a fair agreement.”

The need for a great priority agreement has become for both parties, despite various reasons. For the European Union, a way to avoid unbearable pain A 20 % tariff that Trump I announced earlier, and what Later later placed. For the United States, there is a way to calm the markets, and you reassured anxious investors and participating in the victory of public relations.

The White House imagined 90 days suspension as an opportunity For other countries for other countries, Washington, DC, search for an audience with the American president and reach a commitment. It has not yet been clarified whether this commitment should be mutual or useful from one side.

Meloni tripThe first European leader since the presentation of the “mutual definitions” that were settled as another chapter in this collapse of diplomatic obligations. The previous day, Trump met a commercial delegation from Japan. “Everyone is included in my priority list,” Trump said.

The Italian Prime Minister, who benefited from her right credentials to put himself as a building building between both sides of the Atlantic, chanted, with the optimism of the room and Call the president For an official visit to Italy. “I am sure we can reach an agreement, and I am here to help,” he told reporters.

the next, Watermelon He presented a specific clarification, without desire or yes, revealed the restrictions of his strength. “I cannot negotiate on behalf of the European Union“, He said.

As a member of the European Union, Italy is part of a large customs union and one market shared by 26 countries. The same definitions, shares, preferences and penalties apply through the common limits, which are applied The flogging of the bloc into a unified entity in front of business partners.

In practice, this means that Germany cannot impose a 10 % tariff on the import of the Chevrolet SUV, while Italy receives half the same product.. This also means that Germany cannot agree with Japan to eliminate definitions of cars from the other country, while Italy does the same with the United States. The 27 member states are subject to the same rules and the same agreements.

The only one can It was decided that the European UNHCR will be low and lowWhich gives constituent treaties exclusive competence to managing commercial and customary policy of the bloc.

This ruling quickly reduces the number of people who can contact negotiation and guarantee the commercial agreement that desires one name: Ursula von der Lin. However, he has not met or spoke with the chairman of the committee since her return to the White House.

The shock of the narrative

Trump’s aversion to the European Union has been documented. The Republican has repeatedly condemned the mass as a monopolistic force, in his opinion, formed “Leghan” on the United States and refuses to buy products manufactured in that country. His insistence that he loves European countries, as separate countries, only confirms Aversion to the European Union as a project for political and economic integration.

Brussels officials tried to discredit this narration, pointing to a wider panoram The European Union has a traditional surplus of goods with the United States, at a value of 156,600 Millions of euros in 2023, have a large service deficit, at a value of 108.6 billion euros. This reflects a more balanced relationship than Washington described to justify the punitive tariff.

Despite the risk billions, both sides are barely advanced to avoid what is possible soon Be a comprehensive and destructive trade war. The lack of communication between Trump and the von der Lynne is increasing and increasingly disturbing.

In Prolegomna from its inauguration in January, the Von Der Leyen team Trick A meeting between both leaders, but efforts are never fruitful. Tala’s across tensions began to increase shortly after Trump took this position and launched their attacks against Greenland and Ukrainian President Folodimir Zellinski, causing panic throughout the bloc and setting up new obstacles in any diplomatic approach.

Although von der Layen still defines a “great friend” to the United States and “Atlantic convinced”, he was greatly crucified his accent in public places. “Europe is still a peace project. We do not have brothers or a few dictating the rules. We do not invade our neighbors or punish them. ” Declare To the newspaper “Oil”.

Invented the silence of Trump von der Line A. Deep void at the highest political levelLeave things very sensitive in Hands of deputies That lacks the mandate to make decisive decisions. Von Der Leyen now depends on MAROšSometimes accompanied by the Prime Minister, Bjoern Seibert.

In recent months, šefčovič has held many calls and meetings with their counterparts in the United States: Howard Lootnick, US Trade Minister, Jamson Jarir, US Trade Representative Response in the same way.

the reading From the journey of šefčovič, the European Union’s offer to the “Zero by Zero” tariffs was repeated for all industrial goods, which Trump previously rejected, and he mentioned issues such as semiconductors, pharmaceutical products, and overwhelming global steel and aluminum.

A spokesman for the committee said that the negotiations will continue at the technical level “to continue to explore the land for a mutual agreement.”

However, this landing zone looks far away. A source familiar with the talks “Euronews” said The effort between the shelves does not give the desired results And the committee is afraid that The White House can deny the 90 -day opportunity window To comment Trump. The specter of the new definitions of the pharmaceutical sector, which the American president promised to impose, overwhelms the task against the watch.

“I think so USA“Since they did not hold the problems of the supply chain, they may not wait for the negotiations,” said the official who speaks in light of his lack of disclosure.

Regarding technology, the committee fears that the ultimate goal of the United States “will” dismantle all the digital regulations “presented in the previous state, in particular Digital Services Law (DSA) and Digital Markets Law (DMA). Under these laws, the executive authority opened a Research series On the target, Google, X and Apple that can lead to large fines if it is discovered that companies violate regulations.

While Brussels insists that investigations Completely separate From the issue of definitions, it seems that the White House is thinking otherwise. Peter Navarro, a loyal Trump who is practiced as a major trade consultant for trade and manufacturing, has created a Direct connection between commercial flows and digital regulationsThe latter’s equality with “war war”.

The differences are very wide – The novels are not compatible- to the extent that there is a possibility that it will come to šefčovič, Lutnick and Greer A temporary agreement, but then “it is not continuing The line “because Trump and others in his intimate circle suddenly change his opinion, warned the official.

Even if Von Der Leyen receives a long phone call, or a face meeting, Trump’s volatile character It can be an irreplaceable obstacle For successive crises manager. “We are not in a hurry,” Trump said, “We are not in a hurry of our matter,” as it reduced the “100 %” possibilities he expected before.

When asked if he would meet von der Lin, Trump has just said his team had “several talks” with “other countries”Not to mention the chairman of the committee. He also defended his sabotage policies, saying: “The definitions make us rich.”
