The European Union has strongly responded to President Donald Trump’s warning about tariffs, vowing to retaliate if the US imposes new trade barriers. Trump’s administration is set to target the EU with tariffs, building on previous moves against Canada, Mexico, and China. In a sharp response, EU leaders, including French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, emphasized that Europe would not back down, warning that a trade war would harm both sides. While Trump has argued for fairer trade contributions from European nations, the EU insists that any new tariffs will disrupt both economies. With escalating tensions, the EU has made it clear that it will act in defense of its interests, signaling a potential showdown in global trade relations.

Tech entrepreneur Elon Musk has hosted a lengthy conversation with the co-leader of the right-wing Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, Alice Weidel. Up 150 experts were expected to monitor the talk live-streamed on X on Thursday evening for potential violations of Germany’s election laws, according to Politico.
Musk earlier ruffled some feathers in Berlin by praising AfD’s policies, including its tough stance on immigration. During his talk with Weidel, he reaffirmed his belief that “only AfD can save Germany” ahead of the 2025 parliamentary election.
