Is it true that the United States has adjusted the list of goods subject to tariffs on the EU? In fact, the trade conflict between the United States and the European Union has a long history. As early as Trump came to power, he actually proposed relevant sanctions against the European Union. However, because the United States is engaged in a trade war everywhere, it has never laid hands on the EU, and it is likely to start this time. Let's analyze it for everyone.
first, for political reasons, Trump should attack the EU, which is beneficial to his prestige.
Trump has been criticized a lot in politics at present, especially the Democratic Party has made a lot of harsh words about Trump's inaction on the economic level. At the same time, the COVID-19 epidemic in the United States is very serious now, and the economy is really under great pressure. Therefore, in order to avoid greater economic losses, Trump must strike at the European Union, so as to reduce his political passivity. If a breakthrough can be made in the EU, it will undoubtedly give Trump a higher personal prestige in the government, so that his regime can gradually stabilize. Second, Trump is very dissatisfied with the EU. He believes that the deficit between the two sides is too large and must be contained in advance. The relationship between Trump and the European Union has always been bad. In recent years, Trump and the French president have had many contradictions. There are also many contradictions with the German president, mainly arising from both sides, and the trade deficit is relatively large, which makes Trump very dissatisfied. Therefore, it has long been Trump's intention to impose a tariff list on the EU. This time, his acceleration is just to make the economy recover quickly. Third, Trump will attack the EU for his own election, which will improve his position in the eyes of voters. Trump is a very realistic businessman. He knows that only by getting everyone's support in the election can he be re-elected. Therefore, in order to improve his position in the eyes of voters, Trump must start with the EU, so that he can demonstrate his slogan of America first.
