BCARESEARCH's Chief Strategist for Europe, Mathieu Savary, stated that Trump's strategy is to make outrageous demands, then let those demands fall through, and then make another effort to win some last-minute concessions, ultimately reaching a trade agreement.

We recall a framework from Trump's first presidential term, which is what is happening now. What is said now is no longer important; what matters is where we will land. It is expected that the EU will ultimately 'have to accept a 10% tariff, but that is something the EU can actually cope with.'

Previously, President Trump announced a 30% tariff on EU goods starting from August 1. Three EU officials stated that Trump's threat of a 30% tariff on EU goods starting from August 1 is a negotiation tactic.
