Europe Trump PlayBook: offer carrots but notify you are a big stick

The European Union has developed secret plans to do the bloc in connection with the threats to apply higher tariffs relative to President Trump, European goods and services.

Now these threats are gaining a wide spotlight, as the potential of hypothetical.

Special, politically sensitive sectors – such as products in the country – are designed to give maximum pain with targeted tariffs. If this is prevented, do not turn into tit-tat contest. Move quickly and resolutely using new tactics that can hit service providers such as large Silicon Valley technologies.

It is a rough gamebook – it is widely described by three diplomats that require anonymity because the plans are still discussed – Europe preferred not to use. The first goal is to avoid a carrot and creeping war, including more European gas, including European gas, which pushed Mr. Trump’s company, and a creeping war. EU officials have warned to be a trade war between block and a trade war, a trade war, such as China and Russia, will be a self-defeating disaster.

However, Mr. Trump said that this week will meet the “absolute” and “pretty soon” face-to-intzage. If the application fails, Europe is ready to retreat.

“We have prepared,” the President of the European Commission, the President of the European Commission, this week, during a press conference in Brussels this week, he said that the new US management was ready to increase the tariff in Brussels.

When the commission met with the accompanying ambassador and other diplomats from the EU countries and other diplomats of the EU, the three diplomats reported with higher diplomats, the so-called Trump Task Force. The block has 27 member countries and shared plans, which eliminates the strategic advantage, is likely to leak.

However, the principles of several leaders are becoming increasingly, two of the diplomats, the result of both works, the results of both works are made from Mr. Trump’s first period. Diplomats demanded anonymity to discuss political issues.

The first opinion is that the tariffs are not placed in certain areas or geography related products, and the target of tariffs. For example, in 2018, Europe, Kentucky’s Bourbon Industries, thus hitting the Bourbon industry, reacted to steel and aluminum tariffs, and thus the Senate McConnell, the Majukki Republic did critically.

A second opinion, to spot the answer, only the response or rasheting in case of certain triggers or dates, two people have given diplomats. To intentionally, it gives more goals, a diplomat, immediately and a painful trade effect.

Third, according to all three diplomats, the answers will not necessarily taste tat. Cənab Trump, Avropada the-the-the-the-the-the-the-the-the-the-the-the-the-the-the-the-the-the-the-the-the-the-the- the-the-the-the-the-the-the-the-the-the-the-the-the-the-the-the-the-the-the-the-the-the-the-the-the- The-the-the-the-the-the-the-the-the-the-the-the-the-the-the-the-the-the-the-the-the-The-The-The-The-The-The-The-the-The-The-The-The-The-The-The-The-The-The-The-The-The-The-The-The-The-Towth should respond with the-board tariff. The EU still wants to follow the global trade rules that can offer another surgical approach by the World Trade Organization.

An option is the use of an “anti-compulsory tool”, the use of large American service providers of the bloc – as large technology companies – the use of “an anti-compulsion tool”.

Forcibly Since 2023The tool allows the EU to use the EU’s higher customs duties or import restrictions when another country has harmed the European industry in attempting to put pressure on government and change political or politics. This thought It is to allow manipulative political pressure to respond quickly and hard.

Financial times First reported The commission may use the company, including large silicon valley technology companies, including large silicon valley technologies companies, in response to American tariffs. Two of the diplomats were confirmed that using the tool, although it is far from a plan.

They said that a choice of an option to move through the vehicle is very sharp, because Europe’s end goal is to ignite the comprehensive trade war.

So far, it is impossible for Europe to strengthen the reaction plan. Simple Reason: No one knows what Mr. Trump does.

“They want to do a deal – I think that they are very unconciled as the real goals are.”

In addition, EU leaders sometimes struggled to buy Washington on the phone. Secretary of State Marco is Rubio Invited Although the Foreign Ministers call them, but the best diplomat of the block did not call it with Kaja Kallas. Mrs. Von Der Leyen did not meet Mr. Trump since the inauguration ceremony in January.

Mr. Trump said that even if the tariffs in Europe will look like it will be repeatedly, Europe wants more American cars and farm products, along with gas.

This introduced Europe, which offers an incentive to refuse a trade war before the trade war. Authorities said they wanted to buy more American fuel – even the ready ones. Authorities are already trying to find a way to various energy sources, such as the continent leaves itself from Russian gas.

“We are still getting more lng of Russia and why we do not replace America LNG,” Ms. Von Der Leilen In the days he said Once Mr. Trump has been referred to the liquefied natural gas.

European officials also said that they have received more American defense products because they increase the block-wide military spending. Higher military spending is a response to Mr. Trump, who insists that partially spends more European peoples in NATO.

As for Greenland – an EU member of an EU member is an autonomous area of ​​an EU Wants to add For strategic importance – Europeans stressed that they are open to invest more in the island.

“I completely agree with the high north, the high north, the Arctic region becomes increasingly important when speaking from defense and security and carelessness,” Prime Minister of Denmark this week. “And it is possible to find a way to provide stronger traces in Greenland.”

First of all, European leaders tried to remind the importance of the United States and the United States as important for both economic and global peace.

Not only the EU’s when acting as a block of America the most important trade The partner. This is also a major importer of American services and officials are stressed many times In recent days, European companies use millions of Americans.

“Many things are in danger for both sides,” Ms said. Von Der Leyen said this week.

But he added that “we will always protect our interests and when necessary.”
