The Russian diplomacy chief Sergei Lavrov said on Monday that the agreement announced the previous day between the United States and the EU, which provides customs tariffs of 15% in imported European products, would bring a “very hard blow” to the European industry.
“Such approach will lead to a continuation of the deindustrialization of Europe, an investment movement from Europe to the United States and, of course, it will be a very hard blow,” Sergei Lavrov reacted during a forum, near Moscow.
A statement that follows many others in Europe that judges with great hardness the commercial agreement filed this Sunday by Ursula von den and Donald Trump.
Prime Minister François Bayrou estimates, a few hours after signing a Agreement between the European Union and the United States In customs tasks that it was a “dark day” for Europe that “resolves the presentation.”
“The protection of European interests”
Other voices believe, however, that Europe has avoided the worst. For Giorgia Meloni, this agreement avoids a “potentially devastating” scenario.
For its part, Stéphane Séjéné, European Commissioner for Prosperity and Industrial Strategy, defends its president.
