(Adnkronos) – “We are in a storm but our unity is our strength”. Ursula von der Leyen wants to highlight the need for Europe to remain united in its reaction to the tariffs imposed by US President Donald Trump. A decision for which she expresses “deep regret”.
Europe, von der Leyen assures, “has everything it needs to weather the storm. We are in this together. If you hit one of us, you hit all of us. So we will stand united and we will defend each other.” The President of the EU Commission recalls that Europe “has the largest single market in the world, 450 million consumers”. This, she adds, “is our safe harbor in stormy times and Europe will stand by those who are directly affected”.
