# In his latest threat to trade with Europe, president Donald Trump of the United States has announced plans to impose a 50-percent tariff on goods imported from the European Union from 1 June. He justified this measure by pointing to the significant trade deficit between the US and the EU, which he described as “totally unacceptable.” This proposal has further raised concerns about escalating trade tensions and potential economic repercussions.
