< p > Von der Leyen was doused with a bucket of cold water! At the G7 Summit, Von der Leyen attempted to use cooperation with the US against us as a bargaining chip to secure tax cuts for Europe from the US. However, Trump turned around and issued a warning to Europe! It seems that China's move still makes the US very wary! On June 18th, according to a report by The Straits Times, President Trump, who returned home early, stated that the EU had not yet proposed a fair agreement. < / p > < p > Trump warned that the EU needs to present "a good deal" to Washington; otherwise, it will face higher tariffs. During the G7 Summit, Von der Leyen directly told Trump: when we focus our attention on tariffs between partners, our energy will be diverted from the real challenge - a challenge that threatens all of us. Clearly, the challenge Von der Leyen referred to is China. < / p > < p > Von der Leyen's words were intended to remind the US that the US and Europe should join forces to counter China, and the US should not impose taxes on allies. However, judging from Trump's response, the US does not take Von der Leyen's proposal seriously at all. To be honest, the fact that Europe wants to compromise with the US has revealed Europe's weakness to Trump, so the US issued a warning and raised its demands. Von der Leyen clearly underestimated America's appetite. Trump's warning was undoubtedly a bucket of cold water poured on Von der Leyen, leaving her plans in vain. < / p > < p > From the US perspective, the US originally wanted to take benefits from both China and Europe, regardless of whether Europe cooperates with the US or not, Europe must meet the conditions set by the US. Especially after the US did not gain any advantage in dealing with us, the motivation to make up for losses from Europe became stronger. In fact, Trump was not interested in Europe's proposal because we hold the rare earth card. If the US again violates the Geneva Agreement, then our rare earth card should also be used again. We have cards in defending our own interests, and Europe's attempt to use us as leverage is completely a misjudgment of the US. < / p > < p > < img src = "//p3-sign.toutiaoimg.com/tos-cn-i-ezhpy3drpa/de435a5de6114c1bbcd0906e91eadb71~tplv-obj:1200:755.image?_iz=97245&bid=15&from=post&gid=1835248193500363&lk3s=06827d14&x-expires=1757980800&x-signature=BGWvt1gsVtzV0TvuCxdl2nCKWc4%3D" / > < img src = "//p3-sign.toutiaoimg.com/tos-cn-i-ezhpy3drpa/952f6e8c7b3a461d80854ceed9ec1206~tplv-obj:1200:740.image?_iz=97245&bid=15&from=post&gid=1835248193500363&lk3s=06827d14&x-expires=1757980800&x-signature=C1LNjXwnhSXE1OO6IpumvgRinko%3D" / > < / p > < p > Original article: https://www.toutiao.com/article/1835248193500363/ < / p > < p > Statement: This article only represents the views of the author. < / p >
