Macron’s state visit to the UK overshadowed by Trump’s tariff threat

French President Emmanuel Macron will conclude with a three -day government visit to the United Kingdom on Thursday after the British Franco summit to be held in London today.

The UK brought out the stations of the French leader and his wife, Brigitte, who were received by Prince, Princess Wales, William and Kate, when they arrived in England on Tuesday, before they were transferred to meet King Charles III and Queen Camilla in Windsor.

The roads were closed in the city where Macron joined Royals to obtain the transport processor to the castle, where a glamorous government banquet was held in its honor.

They are keen to persuade their French guests, and the British musical and cultural kings – including singers Elton John and Mick Jagger, actress Christine Scott Thomas and former England goalkeeper Mary Airbes – were among the 160 brilliant calls at dinner.

The UK government said that the French President met business leaders on Wednesday, and he is scheduled to hold talks with Prime Minister Kiir Starmer on Thursday, which is expected to focus on “common priorities” including migration, trade, defense and security.

Waiting on the horizon is the thorny issue in Washington and how to deal with Trump and its unpredictable unpredictable definition system, which can severely affect European and global economic growth.

On Monday, Trump shared screenshots on social media from signed “messages” sent to 14 countries, including Japan, South Korea and South Africa, He told them that they faced a sharp rise in commercial tariffs from August 1Extension of the first deadline on July 9.

Then it was announced on Wednesday At least seven other countries will reach punitive dutiesAnd also a 50 % tariffs on Brazil Partially in response to the current trial against former Brazilian President Geer Bolsonaro for his role in an alleged attempt to cancel the country’s election results for 2022.

Trump also A 50 % tax was announced on copper importsWhich will start on August 1, and indicates that more definitions of the sector will come soon.

White House spokesman Caroline Levit said that other messages will be sent in the coming days, but so far, the European Union (EU) has not received anything, Leave it to forget about the definitions you can face.

Amal is rising that a commercial deal for the United States of America will be ink this week, although how useful-or is not dead-will be unknown as Macron, which leads the second largest economy in the bloc, to the United Kingdom.

“The European Union is rushing to conclude a deal with the United States, and perhaps by the end of this week already,” said Holgar Schmiding, chief economist at Burnberg Bank, noted that “the European Union is rushing to conclude a deal with the United States, and perhaps by the end of this week already.”

“The European Union seems reluctantly accepted that the current rule tariff cannot be negotiated by 10 % in addition to some sectoral tariffs. The European Union still hopes to obtain some limited exemptions from this customs tariff, for example, there will be no large number of aircraft and aircraft points, so that it does not aim to the high threat, which raises excessive threat to the increasing threat. He said.

Macron is known to have a warm relationship with members of the British royal family. Greatly, the king won the last time from Paris when he addressed the French Senate in English and French, speaking fluently, During the state’s visit in 2023.

This is the first visit of the state by the European Union leader on British soil since it left the United Kingdom sharply in 2020 after a referendum of Britain’s exit from the European Union 2016. The British government said the visit “will provide a Historical opportunity To present the breadth of the relationship between the United Kingdom. “

Perhaps Starmer, who seemed to have led to Trump despite their various political persuasive, has also been able to give Macron some advice on how to beat their ally via Atlantic, as the European Union continues trade negotiations with Washington.

Trump stated in life that the United Kingdom was The first country to reach a commercial deal with WashingtonAnd it is possible that it is protected from future definitions, “because I love them.” Meanwhile, Macron had a more difficult journey with the American leader, who humiliated him More than once. In June, at the last G-7 meeting, Trump Macron was launched as a “propaganda”.
