Donald Trump does he want to revive the trade war ? If he has found an agreement with Emmanuel Macron at the beginning of the year, the american president has stirred up Friday, the threat of new tariffs against the european Union and China. A measure that would be taken in retaliation for the duties that weigh on the sales of american lobster. During a meeting with representatives of the fishing industry in Bangor, in the State of Maine, the president of the United States has asked his adviser for trade Peter Navarro to investigate the possibility of increasing the tariffs on european cars and chinese products. The EU must abandon its taxes on the lobster from the United States “immediately”, he said. “If they do not change their position, we’re going to put tariffs on their cars and they will change it now,” he warned, saying that Brussels was “almost as bad as China in terms of trade”.

Donald Trump has also asked Peter Navarro about China, to find “something that they sell which is very important for them” to apply punitive taxes. “Choose a product”, “if they do not abandon rates on the Maine lobster imported in China”, has he hammered. “Peter Navarro is going to become the king of the lobsters”, he joked. At that same meeting, the billionaire republican has signed a decree lifting restrictions on fishing under the presidency of his predecessor, democrat Barack Obama on 13 000 km2 of ocean off the coast of Maine, on the East coast of the United States.
