Weapons energy and less regulation for large American digital platforms. Donald Trump uses tariffs as a negotiation lever. He did this with Canada and Mexico to strengthen the border control of people and drugs. And he got it. And now he is in a complex impetus with the European Union, in which he not only strives to export less in the United States in order to balance this commercial balance. The fact that Trump is looking for is that its partners are more contributed to the defense of NATO and Europe in order to be able to retreat – it requires expenses for 5% of GDP in defense, when now the threshold is 2%, but also that they buy more American energy and gas, which makes the EU from the disunity of Russian gas.
And then there is another leg that is very interested in the White House because it affects the leading American companies with very small competition in the West: European regulation of digital platforms – Facebook, X, etc. – and large technological companies with monopolistic positions – Amazon, Google, Apple – are systematically fined by the European commission on the dominant position on the dominant position market.
