US President Donald Trump has trited trade tensions on Friday.

He also threatened to impose 25 percent of import taxes “at least” on the IPHONE, which was not manufactured in the United States.

The warning of the EU came a few hours before the two sides had a trade conversation. Last month, Trump announced 20%tariffs on most EU products, but allowed half of 10%by July 8 to allow the dialogue time.

“Our discussion with them can’t go anywhere!” Trump wrote on social media on Friday. He said he recommends that a new tariff will begin on June 1.

Later he spoke to the White House journalists, and Trump said that his plan was set.

“I’m not looking for a deal -we’ve set a deal,” he said immediately that a big investment in the US could delay him.

The EU did not immediately respond to the threat. The politicians of the block members said they greeted it disappointed, but they didn’t expect to change their strategy.

French Foreign Minister Laurent Saint-Martin was written on social media on Friday morning, and the latest threats wrote negotiations on social media.

Analysts said that the investigation remains a reality.

“We must keep in mind that it is a threat at this point. It is not a presentation. There is no administrative order.” The trade expert at the European Reform Center told the BBC.

He thought Trump’s post was intended to increase leverage before negotiations.

“But the problem is that the EU will not be stupid. They will be calm and continues and will be a very difficult discussion in this afternoon.”

Stocks increase rapidly

After entering the White House, Trump imposed and threatened various tariffs on products in the world, and argued that the policy would promote US manufacturing and protect jobs from foreign competition.

Target is a tax imposed when a product enters the country. This announcement has been worrying worldwide because foreign companies are more expensive and difficult to sell products in the world’s largest economy.

Trump, however, has also retired from his most aggressive proposals after the US financial market turmoil and business cry.

The US and EU’s stock prices fell after the latest threats on Friday, while the S & P 500 reduced the DAX and France’s CAC 40 by more than 1.5% per day.

Apple’s stocks, which had slogans when Trump exempted major electronic devices, including smartphones last month, fell by 2.7%.

At that time, the officials warned that it was temporary. Trump said he didn’t try to make Apple alone while talking to reporters on Friday, but he plans to apply his obligations to all smartphones that can start by the end of June.

‘The fire is bright’

According to the US government, the EU is one of the largest trading partners in the United States last year and spent more than $ 60 billion to the United States last year and is worth about $ 370 billion.

Trump’s dissatisfaction with Europe focused on the uneven trade relationship because the EU sells more products in the United States than in the United States.

He criticized these trade deficits for policies that say unfair to US companies and raised concerns about policies related to automobiles and agricultural products.

He aimed at the EU’s products with a 20%tariff on the day of liberation last month, which began negotiations between the United States and the state around the world.

Some countries, especially small countries, took a reconciliation approach, but the EU, such as China and Canada, is more strongly pushed against the threat that it is ready to retaliate for its tariffs on US products.

Trump said on Friday that the EU was “very difficult to trade.”

“Our discussion with them can not go anywhere! So since June 1, 2025, the European Union recommends 50%tariffs.”

In an interview with Fox News on Friday, US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said the United States wants to see more concessions in Europe.

“I believe that the EU proposal is not the same quality as we saw from other important dealing partners,” he said.

“I hope this will fire according to the EU,” he added.

European reaction

Ireland’s Taoiseach Micheál Martin warned that the EU is involved in “good faith” and that tariffs will be damaged on both sides.

“We don’t have to follow this road,” he said. “Negotiation is the best and the only sustainable way.”

Dick School, Dutch Prime Minister, said he would stick to the path he chose.

According to Reuters, we will know how the negotiations will proceed after today’s announcement. We saw before the tariff could go up and down in dialogue with the United States. “He added.

Katerina Reiche, the German Economic Minister, said her country needed more trade.

“We have to do everything so that the European Commission can reach a solution that is negotiated with the United States,” she said.

Trump was ahead of the tariffs, despite the extensive concerns among experts that new taxes would lead to economic damage, despite the extensive concerns among experts.

On Friday, Wedbush Securities analyst DAN IVES said that the idea that Apple will make an iPhones in the United States is “impossible fairy tale.”

He added that Apple would continue to explore the situation despite Trump’s recent attack, which has long been a company that wants to see manufacturing in the United States.

Trump met with Apple’s chief executive Tim Cook at the White House earlier this week and expressed his misfortunes for the company’s response to tariffs.

Earlier this month, the company said that the production of most iPhones and other devices, which is scheduled to be sold in the United States in the United States, is changing to countries such as India and Vietnam, not the United States.

Earlier this month, Trump had a “small problem” with Mr. Cook and warned him:
