Donald Trump and Ursula von der Leyen<\/b> agree on a joint stance on Iran<\/b>, while setting an ultimatum of tariffs with a deadline<\/b> and a warning of increases<\/b>.<\/p>\n
At a particularly critical juncture for transatlantic relations<\/b>, the US and European Union<\/b> appear to be trying a simultaneous de-escalation in geopolitical and trade tensions<\/b>, following a telephone conversation between Donald Trump and Ursula von der Leyen<\/b>. The two sides appear to be strategically aligned against Iran<\/b>, maintaining a common position of deterrence<\/b>, while at the same time the tariffs<\/b> issue is being put with particular weight<\/b> on the table, with the US president warning of significant increases<\/b> if no trade deal is reached within a specific timeframe<\/b>.<\/p>\n
Specifically, US President Donald Trump<\/b> said he had an “excellent phone call”<\/b> with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen<\/b>, during which a number of international issues<\/b> were discussed.<\/p>\n
According to Trump, the two sides appeared “absolutely united”<\/b>on the position that Iran should never acquire nuclear weapons<\/b>. At the same time, the US president said it was agreed to allow time until the 250th anniversary<\/b> of the founding of the United States<\/b> to reach an agreement on tariffs<\/b>, warning that otherwise<\/b> US tariffs will immediately rise to much higher levels<\/b>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
