‘THE WEST NO LONGER EXISTS’: EU Chief Von Der Leyen Declares End of U.S.-Europe Alliance [Video]

‘THE WEST NO LONGER EXISTS’: EU Chief Von Der Leyen Declares End of U.S.-Europe Alliance

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has delivered a bold statement: “The West as we knew it no longer exists.” In a powerful new interview, she blames President Trump’s aggressive tariffs—20% on EU goods and 25% on cars—for collapsing the once-strong transatlantic alliance. As EU-U.S. trade tensions grow, the EU is pivoting toward new global partners. Von der Leyen says 87% of the world’s trade now happens outside the U.S., marking a clear shift in economic power.

Trump Slams EU’s Tariff Proposal as ‘Very Bad’, Cites Car Ban, Slaps 20% Tariffs on Industrial Goods [Video]

Trump Slams EU’s Tariff Proposal as ‘Very Bad’, Cites Car Ban, Slaps 20% Tariffs on Industrial Goods

President Donald Trump has rejected the European Union’s "zero-for-zero" tariff proposal for industrial goods, calling it "very, very bad." Trump argued that the EU restricts U.S. cars and agriculture, and retaliated by imposing a 20% tariff on European exports. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen warned of countermeasures if talks collapse. As tensions escalate, EU stock markets tumbled, with Germany’s DAX and the UK’s FTSE 100 suffering heavy losses. The standoff risks disrupting transatlantic trade worth over €1 trillion annually, threatening global economic stability. #Trump #EUTrade #TariffWar #TradeTensions #USPolitics #DonaldTrump #EuropeanUnion #TradeDeficit #ZeroTariff #Cars #USvsEU #GlobalMarkets #VonDerLeyen #USExports #TariffNews #Protectionism #BreakingNews #EUReaction #IndustrialTrade #TrumpTariffs Also Read Trump Dismisses General Tim Haugh from National Security Agency Amidst Congressional Concerns :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-fires-general-tim-haugh-national-security-agency-011-4115013.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Warns Iran: Strike A Nuclear Deal In Two Months Or Face Unprecedented Bombing :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-warns-iran-strike-a-nuclear-deal-in-two-months-or-face-unprecedented-bombing-4109797.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Visits Kennedy Center to Shape the Future of National Arts and Culture :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-visit-kennedy-center-arts-institution-011-4097567.html?ref=DMDesc ~GR.344~HT.408~
