Aurore Lalucq, a French lawmaker who chairs the European Parliament's \u2019's powerful Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs, told Euronews\u2019e he did not understand why AB\u2019 had signed a trade agreement with the US administration, which he said could not be trusted.<\/p>\n
His comments come after the July 2025 \u2019 trade deal signed by US President Donald Trump and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, Trump, which \u2019 agreed on Friday under the deal on EU cars. %Over 15 ceilings ter threatening to impose 25 customs duties, he came to doubt.<\/p>\n
Lalucq, Euronews\u2019e said: \u201cI don't understand how anyone can make a deal with a government that breaks its promise.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe talking points given to us were that the agreement would bring predictability to the business world. But since the very extravagant press conference between Ursula von der Leyen and Donald Trump in \u2019 in July 2025, nothing particularly predictable has happened in any of them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Since Trump\u2019's latest threat, EU leaders have largely remained silent and refrained from fueling what many see as another provocation by the US president.<\/p>\n European \u200b\u200b leaders humiliated themselves by signing the agreement in the first place, Lalucq said.<\/p>\n \u201cWe are literally representatives. When Ursula von der Leyen, Donald Trump, sits in the same room as \u2019, the humiliation is impersonal; Europe is humiliated. We should have taken a much tougher stance. - \u201d<\/p>\n Lalucq\u2019's position as a member of the Socialist and Democrats group (S&D) contradicts that of another important socialist MP, Bernd Lange\u2019, who chairs the leading trade committee and tries to advance the agreement with additional security measures.<\/p>\n The split underscores different views within the European Parliament, \u2019's second-largest political group, S&D, where positions often reflect national interests. Countries that are more open to the U.S. market generally take a less confrontational stance on the deal than Lalucq\u2019, while still trying to secure advantageous conditions.<\/p>\n These measures are currently being discussed among EU governments and lawmakers. One proposal envisions AB\u2019 reducing tariffs on U.S. industrial goods only if Washington\u2019 fully complies with the agreement. Another clause, called \u201c, will terminate the agreement in March 2028 if it is not renewed.<\/p>\n EU member states are divided on these issues; Some capitals, particularly Germany and Italy, are in favour of preserving the original agreement negotiated by the Commission last summer.<\/p>\n A new round of negotiations is scheduled for Wednesday.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" French lawmaker Aurore Lalucq argues that recent tariff threats, which Donald Trump \u2019 sees as a violation of the EU-US trade agreement, show that AB\u2019 should not accept the deal and underline divisions between Socialists and Democrats.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2912,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[775],"class_list":["post-2911","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-genel","tag-trump-ile-ticaret"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lojistiknakliye.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2911","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lojistiknakliye.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lojistiknakliye.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lojistiknakliye.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lojistiknakliye.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2911"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.lojistiknakliye.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2911\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lojistiknakliye.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2912"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lojistiknakliye.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2911"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lojistiknakliye.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2911"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lojistiknakliye.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2911"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
