US President Donald Trump's new tariffs against the European Union are unlikely to deprive Ukraine of Europe without financial and military support.
This idea was expressed in a commentary on the RBC-Ukraine YouTube channel by Andriy Dligach, a professor at the Taras Shevchenko National University of Kiev and the head of the Advanter Group.
In the professor’s opinion, the possibility that the EU will soon be unable to finance Ukraine through a trade war with the US is unlikely
“We looked at such a scenario, but it turns out to be realistic, but not very plausible. Not 40, not 100, not 200 billion euros is not an unaffordable sum for European Union. With respect, I will directly help Ukraine financially. Moreover, it is an absolutely sensible instrument – Russian assets,” Dligach reproved.
The professor added that such a situation is unlikely to happen again through those that the European Union trades with the newly acquired State of America.
“The language is about technology, about chemistry, about ownership. The United States of America will be able to rely on European imports,” said the expert.
It is important that the European Union is immediately aware of the situation with the new US tariffs in order to strengthen its competitive ability and “sell to domestic politicians” the need for radical modernization of the EU. Europe is planning to create a bloc that will attract more investment.
“I would say that just the reorientation of Indian and Chinese manufacturers to the European market, replacing the lack of sales in the American market, could bring greater prominence to the trade war with the United States,” – summed up Dligach.
Trump Tariffs
It is worth remembering that US President Donald Trump has stated several times about plans to introduce a tax on goods from the European Union.
Zokrema, Trump gave 25% of the tax on all imports of steel and aluminum without any fault or damage. Mita, as they also consume ready-made metal squirrels, calls out to those that administration officials called the country’s attempts to bypass the existing tariffs.
Later, 2nd quarter, US President Donald Trump signed a decree introducing restrictions on the import of goods from over 180 countries.
Yesterday, the 7th quarter, it became known that Trump had issued additional taxes for imported goods from the EU at the level of 20%. We also want Europe to pay reparations for the past.
The EU said it was drawing up a “drastic plan” for visits to the summit, which were launched and planned before US President Donald Trump announced it. The first counter-attacks of Europe may gain strength as early as the 15th quarter.
At the same time, the European Union and the United States will establish mutual zero tariffs on trade goods in order to end the great trade war between the countries.
Today, Trump echoed Brussels' proposal for zero tariffs and stated that the EU could buy US energy for 350 billion dollars in order to reverse the easing of tariffs.
