Trump news at a glance: don’t trade threats with us, EU warns
The GuardianSunday, May 25, 2025 at 1:06:05 AM
The EU fired back at Donald Trump after he threatened to slap 50% tariffs on European goods, warning him not to escalate trade tensions. Meanwhile, Trump took to social media to accuse the EU of exploiting the U.S. on trade—part of his long-running tariff battles with global partners. In a quirky side note, the article mentions a surge in Americans looking to move to the U.K. permanently, possibly reflecting broader political fatigue.
Editor’s Note: Trade wars aren’t just economic—they’re political flashpoints. Trump’s latest outburst risks straining U.S.-EU relations even further, and the EU’s sharp response shows they’re not backing down. The mention of Americans eyeing life abroad? A subtle hint that domestic frustration might be growing. For markets and diplomacy, this is another headache in the making.
