Oliver Crook: 欧盟由27个成员国组成，这使得它很难与行动迅速且变化无常的特朗普政府进行谈判。欧盟提出的许多建议过于抽象，未能满足美国的需求，而美国更关注实际的利益。特朗普政府对欧盟感到失望，认为其提议过于抽象，未能满足美国的需求，而欧盟则认为特朗普政府的要求不明确，缺乏明确的合作路径，因此特朗普政府加大了施压力度。欧盟贸易谈判代表将主导钢铁、铝、汽车、医药、半导体等工业品谈判，同时进行关税和非关税壁垒的平行谈判。特朗普政府的赌注是，对欧盟征收关税对欧盟的伤害大于对美国的伤害，但实际上，对欧盟征收50%的关税可能会使美国GDP增长下降0.6个百分点，并导致通货膨胀。达成贸易协议符合双方的利益，因为每年有一万亿美元的贸易额，这是世界上最大的贸易关系，双方都需要对结果感到满意。欧洲可以购买更多美国的武器，德国可以无限借款购买武器，液化天然气也是一个潜在的合作领域。如果欧洲愿意在未来10到20年内购买价值一万亿美元的国防设备和液化天然气，可能会与特朗普政府达成协议。 Ursula von der Leyen: 我要求延长对欧盟征收50%关税的期限，并希望进行认真的谈判。
