U.S. President threatens to impose 35% tariffs on EU goods, demanding fulfillment of a $600 billion investment commitment.

President of the United States threatened to impose a 35% import tax on goods from the European Union if the EU does not fulfill its commitment to invest 60 billion dollars.

"Well, they will pay a 35% tariff because they promised to reduce tariffs and pay 60 billion dollars, so I reduced their tariff from 30% to 15%."

The president emphasized that the money obtained from the EU is not a loan: "They gave me 60 billion dollars, it's a gift, by the way, this is not a loan, nothing to return, they gave us 60 billion dollars, we can invest in anything."

On July 27, the President of the European Commission, von der Leyen, pledged during a meeting with the US President that the EU would completely ban any form of Russian energy supply, purchase 75 billion dollars worth of American energy products, and invest 60 billion dollars in the US economy.
