Relations Between Trump and the EU

Western media reported that the EU is concerned about abrupt decisions from Donald Trump following his return to the White House. Trump has threatened to impose additional tariffs on EU member states. Brussels has stated its readiness to respond to this.

Additionally, the U.S. President accuses European countries of spending less on aid to Ukraine in its war with Russia.

Furthermore, Trump demands an increase in defense spending to 5% of GDP from other NATO members, most of whom are EU members.
