EU Chief Says Europe Must Prepare for the Worst with Trump
European Council President Donald Tusk says the European Union must prepare for the worst due to the policies of US President Donald Trump, as a trade war looms between Washington and Brussels.
TEHRAN (Defapress) - In a letter to EU leaders Wednesday, Tusk wrote that "trans-Atlantic relations are under immense pressure due to the policies of President Trump.
Tusk, who chairs a two-day summit of EU leaders in Brussels starting Thursday, said that "unfortunately, the divisions go beyond trade."
He wrote: "It is my belief that, while hoping for the best, we must be ready to prepare our Union for worst-case scenarios."
Earlier this month, Trump slapped tariffs on imports of European steel and aluminum. The EU responded with "rebalancing measures" that hit around 2.8 billion euros ($3.25 billion) worth of US products.
