‘Europe has everything it needs to make it through the storm’, EU chief says

EU chief Ursula von der Leyen tried to reassure citizens in Europe on Thursday after US President Donald Trump imposed sweeping new tariffs. “Europe has everything it needs to make it through the storm,” she said. However, EU citizens are experiencing “bubbling frustration” because their leaders are still calling the US “an ally” despite its “naked aggression”, said FRANCE 24’s Brussels correspondent, Dave Keating. Many are angry for what they see as overcaution from EU leaders,” he added.
