特朗普發文稱，歐盟通過貿易壁壘、增值稅、貨幣操縱及不公訴訟等手段對美企不利，導緻美國每年對歐貿易逆差超250億美元。他表示與歐盟的談判毫無進展，因而建議自2025年6月1日起，對所有來自歐盟的商品徵收50%關稅，除非該商品是在美國本土生產製造。

 Trump issued a statement saying that the EU has taken measures such as trade barriers, value - added tax, currency manipulation, and unfair litigation, which are detrimental to US companies, resulting in the US trade deficit with the EU exceeding $25 billion annually. He said that the negotiations with the EU have made no progress, and therefore proposed that, starting from June 1, 2025, a 50% tariff should be imposed on all goods from the EU, unless the goods are manufactured in the United States.
