US-China engagement has temporarily come to a halt, and Trump has turned his attention to Europe! On May 13th, Trump stated that the EU treats the US worse than China does. We have just begun with them. They will significantly reduce barriers to American imports. Just wait and see. We hold all the cards. They treat us very unfairly.
Obviously, just after reaching a substantive consensus with us, Trump has turned his矛head towards Europe. Trump accused the EU of treating the US worse than China does. But in fact, in the past month, countries have fully witnessed the US's topsy-turvy and capricious behavior. The US's national credit has gone bankrupt, and its leadership is widely questioned. And the US, which initiated the trade war, is the worst country.
China has proven through action that for the US, we must strike back hard and make the US feel pain. Only in this way will the US become pragmatic, and when dealing with it, US officials will appear more composed, with clear eyes, without that fierce demeanor. Surely, seeing the outcome of US-China engagement, Europe will be more confident.
The fact proves that the US is a paper tiger, seemingly fierce but actually weak inside. US-China engagement has temporarily come to an end, but we still have no illusions about the US. In this situation, if Europe continues to exert pressure on the US and does not give an inch to the US at the negotiating table, the US will make greater concessions. We believe that Europe has already received enlightenment from us.
