Europe’s commercial deal with the United States has died upon its arrival – it must be buried. Here’s how to do this George Riquelis and empty Volkman star-news.press/wp

URsula von der leyen’s Turnberry Golf Course has been named after the name of surrender and insult to Europe. Assuming that this agreement will put an end to the coercion of Donald Trump, and bullying was either naive or as a result of a miserable illusion. The European Union must now steel and reject The conditions imposed by Trump.
Is this deal really bad as it looks? Unfortunately, it is, for at least three reasons.
A blow to the credibility of Europe is not challenging in a world that the European Union is expected to defend the reciprocity and trade -based trade, from resisting Washington’s coercion with Canada, China and Brazil, instead of overcoming it.
Economically, it is one street harmful in one direction: the European Union exporters lose the arrival of markets in the United States while the European Union market has reached a favorite American competition. The main European industrial sectors such as medicines, steel and aluminum are left by road. The balance is also in favor of the United States in important sectors such as consumer goods, food, drink and agriculture. Definitions tend to stick, so this is long -term damage. Even the European Union abandons its right to respond to the future pressures of the United States through digital services or network fees.
Moreover, the defense and investment pledges in the von der Layn (which had no authorization) contradict the interest of Europe. The dilemma of competitiveness in the European Union is just a net investment External flows. Since international capital is now re -showing the pressure of the bond and the weakness of the dollar, the issue of Europe becomes a Strategic investment power What Strengtening. From Lin’s promise 600 billion dollars in the European Union investment In the United States is the catastrophic correspondence.
How can this happen? All European Union member states wanted to avoid Trump’s threat by 30 % and a commercial war, but nothing, like Germany and Ireland, with the support of German car companies and major American technology companies. However, Irish digital tax deals, as well as BMW and Mercedes plans Transfer of production centers For the United States (also to serve the European Union market), it cannot be the future of Europe.
European Union governments were clearly useful in building The position of negotiation in the European Union. But in the end, it was von der Lin who retreated and she had responsibility. Its close team took control of the closing weeks and went to the final meeting clearly to say yes, which made Trump inevitable.
Let’s think about the opposite: If Von der Leyen has entered the room and rejects these terms, Trump’s anger and some of the market disturbances followed. But in the end, it was likely that it had reached a postponement, new negotiation, and at some point, a different deal will not be unbalanced or one -side trading in deep and long -term European interests and principles. Instead, Von der Leyen became a minimal for Trump victor.
The situation is mentioned in the final rounds of Britain’s exit negotiations from the European Union Five years ago, when Von der Leyen was likely, he surrendered to unacceptable demands from Boris Johnson, only to move to u.
Today, Von Der Leyen runs Brussels with a strong presidential hand and has been largely disposed of with internal tests and balances within the committee. This is its privilege and style, but the result should not be weak, ineffective and unbearable on the main geopolitical challenges in Europe, from Trump to Gaza.
The “deal” in Scotland is in fact an unstable temporary agreement. Nothing ink or signed; Washington and Brussels are already closed centuries Interpretation Negotiations on the exact (and broader) points are continuing. The 27 governments in the European Union will participate, where the final deal must be translated into an international agreement and the European Union law. Some big powers – Germany and Italy, apparently on board, are hesitant. However, internal political dynamics may change their calculations. The right -wing opposition parties and influential people who represent a real political threat to leaders in Germany and France are already outperforming the deal.
Unless Von der Lin does not hit a dirty deal with member states, the European Parliament will have an opinion. The president has long identified the Trade Committee, Bernd Lang, the tone of how to display the deal there, describing it. “Non -symmetry has been set in stoneAnd “and even”miserySince the details are leakage to what Von der Layen really agreed, it has agreed to what the United States expects from the European Union, and all the consequences are clear, it may become an indefinite deal more than that.
Weakening American economic data and re -tensions of the stock market indicates that Trump negotiating is fragile. His new introductory threats come with new extensions, up to 90 days in the case of Mexico, where his position has been nullified. For Europe, the lesson from Britain’s exit negotiations from the European Union – which Von der Lynn must hold before – is that there is nothing until everything is agreed. There is now an opportunity for European Union governments and the European Parliament to correct and save something from this train.
