According to hvylya.net: US President Donald Trump announced the introduction of a 30% tariff on goods from the European Union and Mexico starting August 1. This percentage rate destroys all hopes for trade agreements and threatens the development of a trade war between countries.

Trump's decision stopped months of negotiations between the US and the EU. Biased European officials hoped to avoid the imposition of tariffs and negotiate exclusions for certain goods.

'Such tariffs will disrupt important transatlantic supply chains to the detriment of businesses, consumers, and patients on both sides of the Atlantic,' said European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.

The European Union is preparing to impose measures worth around $25 billion in response to potential American tariffs. Experts warn that this situation could lead to the start of a trade war between the world's largest economies.

As a result of President Trump's decision to impose tariffs on goods from the EU and Mexico, serious trade conflicts may arise both between countries and internationally.
