French political experts specializing in European affairs said that the escalation of trade tensions between the United States and the European Union is highlighting at a sensitive time, as the Atlantic relations are witnessing more tensions under the policy of "America first" pursued by President Donald Trump. p>

Earlier, Washington threatened to impose new customs duties on European steel and aluminum imports, prompting the European Commission to confirm its willingness to respond to any customs duties imposed by the United States, describing these measures as "unjustified" and "illegal". p>

The Commission indicated that these fees will harm the global economy and increase economic uncertainty.

In this context, the French Foreign Minister, Jean -Nawil Barrow, called for immediate retaliatory measures against American products, stressing that the European Union is ready to move to protect its interests. 

European pressure papers

For his part, the former general manager of the World Trade Organization, Pascal Lami, said that the European Union should be ready to respond to these threats quickly, as it will be necessary to take counter measures to protect European industries. 

Lami added, to "Erm News", that the European Union should show a strong unit in the face of American protection policies, stressing the importance of rapid response to prevent fueling trade tensions to non -controlable levels.

Lami saw that the European Union has several pressure papers to negotiate the removal of customs duties that harm the economy.

For several months, Brussels began preparing for a possible second term for President Donald Trump, with the supposed threat to impose customs duties on trade.

Lami indicated that "in a number of issues, we may be able to open interesting via highly Atlantic negotiations," which would enable Brussels to prevent the imposition of customs duties.

counter -commercial measures

In turn, a researcher at the International and Strategic Institute (IRIS), Jean -Claude Perez, said that Europe is somewhat comfortable to respond quickly to American threats. 

Perez told Erm News that the European Union has the ability to take counter -trade measures in a short period of time, which makes the European response possible within an hour of announcing any new customs duties.

However, it also indicates the importance of the response does not cause an additional escalation that disrupts global economic balances.

With regard to the escalation of political discourse, Perez indicates that Europe is facing a dual challenge: on the one hand, maintaining its internal unity amid American threats, and on the other hand, avoid entering into a comprehensive trade war that may affect the global economy. 

He added that the European Union, in light of these threats, has repeatedly affirmed its willingness to respond within hours in the event that customs duties are imposed, which reflects the design to protect its economy and preserve its strategic interests.

With regard to talking about the rapid response, Perez stressed that it reflects Europe's desire to send a strong message to the United States that the European Union is not only a major economic power, but also a major player in the international arena that has the ability to defend his interests in the face of pressure American.
