“At this time, these conversations can be 24 hours a day. Everyone calls for more trade with Europe – it is not just economic relations. It is not just economic relations and the establishment of general rules and prognosis. Europe is known for its prediction and reliability, which begins to consider it very valuable,” he said.

“On the one hand, it is very beneficial; on the other hand, of course, we have a great responsibility.”

Van der Leinein, who described himself as a “best friend” of the United States, and “a long -term bond between the Atlantic sides, has been still intact, despite his disorders trade policies, despite his disorders trade policies. Alienated the traditional Washington.

Asked if the United States was a friend, a former friend or an opponent, the leader of the European Commission, “these types of classifications”, and that the relationship is “complex”.

Van Ter Lain has not openly criticized Trump – in fact, his name is only mentioned by the journalist – but Trump recommended that Trump tried to build through his series of administrative orders.

“Europe is a peace plan. We have no friends or self -esteem to dictate the rules. We do not occupy our neighbors. We have not punished them. Instead, there are twelve countries waiting for the EU. There are about 150 million people,” he said.

“In Europe, children can attend good schools regardless of the prosperity of parents. We have less CO2 emissions. We have a higher life span. We have controversial debates in our universities.

Having an eye on the best technologies

Regarding negotiations with the White House, the group chairman confirmed that if the conversations do not reach a solution, both the products and the US digital services may be retaliated. Brussels expects the 90 -day interval of Trump’s introduction, and Van Ter Lean returned, which leads to a stability, in which fees are canceled or significantly reduced.

But following the valuable services provided by the silicon valley, the risks of the anger of the Trump administration, which is repeatedly complained, and the terms introduced by the European Union in recent years to control the power of the so -called “great technology.”

From Beijing to Moscow

While Europe faced a 20%penalty “mutual fee”, China was a target of 145%of the enormous rate, which led to a total cut with Beijing, which increased the rates for similar positions to the United States. Customs rights are very high, both markets are closed effectively, and China fears that China is looking for an alternative market and turning its low -cost exports to Europe.

Van der Leinen said the Commission would be “very vigilant” to ensure that the flood will not function. However, when Europe was asked to “believe the Chinese,” Van der Leine did not deny the growing speculation of a rough.

“In principle, it is clear that if the conditions of market access are very difficult for a big business partner like the United States, it is clear that we are looking for new business partners to access our companies’ new markets,” he replied.

During his first tenure, Van Ter Lain, who promoted the risk reduction in dealing with China during his first tenure, has softened his position in recent weeks and spoke before the foreign policy of a “transaction”, which will lead to “creative” commitment to countries that do not share the basic values ​​of the camp like China.

However, any attempt to dissolve the “infinite” partnership relations between Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin will be a strong obstacle. In the interview, Van Ter Lean Putin warned that the “imperially aspirations” of the NATO or the EU may be attacked in the future. Many information agencies estimate that Kremlin may be ready for such an attack by 2030.

Since Trump has no intention of recognizing more military or financial aid to Ukraine, Europe is rushing to fill the bill and filling the gap, although its skills do not match the US power. At the same time, Western alliances have formed a “alliance of interested parties” to provide security guarantees and protect the peace agreement.

When asked if he could only support Ukraine, “The country has bravely defended itself with the help of its friends.” “It is very important for us to show our strength, because from the beginning, Putin estimated that the support of Ukraine would be shattered. In fact, the opposite was the opposite.”
