European Union Responds to Trump: ‘Our Alliance is a Blessing for Your Country’

The European Union has issued a strong response to U.S. President Donald Trump’s claim that the EU was established to undermine the United States. In reaction to his remarks, the European Commission labeled the alliance as a “blessing” for America, emphasizing the economic benefits it provides.

Trump has consistently criticized European countries, despite recent diplomatic engagements such as French President Emmanuel Macron’s visit to Washington. On Wednesday, Trump reiterated his stance, alleging that the EU’s formation aimed to harm the U.S. economy.

n response, the European Commission asserted that the EU is the world’s largest free trade market and an economic advantage for the U.S. A spokesperson stated, “The European Union is a privilege for the United States. President Trump should be grateful for our contributions to global trade.”

The spokesperson further emphasized the necessity of collaboration between the two economic giants, stating, “We must work together to protect opportunities for all European and American citizens and businesses, rather than launching campaigns against each other.”

The European Commission issued a warning that it would take swift and firm action against any proposed tariffs from the U.S. administration. “European nations will always protect their companies, workers, and consumers from unjust tariffs,” the spokesperson said.

This response comes after Trump reaffirmed his plan to impose a 25% tariff on European imports. He remarked, “I love European countries, truly. But if we’re being honest, the European Union was created to harm the United States, and they have succeeded.”
