Talking to journalists before going to Scotland, Trump stated that the chances of concluding a commercial agreement reducing the level of customs customs for products from EU It is “50-50, maybe less”, although he said that the EU wants it very much.
He added, however, that until recently he assessed the chances of concluding a contract with Japan at 25 percent, and yet it happened.
– They (Japanese) were still coming back with new proposals and we concluded a contract. This agreement is based on the fact that Japan will spend $ 550 billion and also pay duties. But the most important part of the contract with Japan – and maybe we can achieve it with the EU, or maybe not – is that we have the right to trade – they completely opened Japan for the United States – said the American president.
Trump assessed that Any agreement with the EU will be one of the lastbecause in most cases the US will simply inform the countries about what customs duties will be covered by goods from their countries. He announced that next week he would start sending letters with such information to “200 countries”.
Commercial matters are also intended to apply to Scotland, where he will visit, among others your golf courses. During your stay Trump is to discuss with the British prime minister Keir Starmer details of the concluded framework agreement.
On Friday afternoon, Ursula von der Leyen also informed about the planned meeting with Trump.
The US President emphasized that the state draws huge budget revenues from elevated duties and stated that He considers the allocation of this money to send checks for the least money. Such a move would, however, require the Congress Act.
