Trump previously said that the EU was created to “screw” the United States.
Its prices are currently pending until July, giving the block the opportunity to conclude an agreement similar to that obtained by the United Kingdom which was announced on Thursday.
The reference rates at 10% are still in place on the EU, as well as 25% on cars, steel and aluminum. The commission revealed its new reprisals list on Thursday, worth almost 100 billion euros in imports.
Trump and Von Der Leyen gathered briefly once before – during the funeral of Pope Francis on April 26, where they were seen chat and shake hands.
“In their brief exchange, President Von Der Leyen and President Trump agreed to meet,” said spokesperson Paola Piñho in an article on X after this meeting.
Trump is used to butter the world leaders – at least when he wants, describing British Prime Minister Keir Starmer as having a “beautiful accent” and a “beautiful and big wife” and the Vladimir Putin of Russia as a “genius”.
