Brussels (Eurotoday) – EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen will meet U.S. Vice President JD Vance in Paris during an AI summit, a spokesperson for the EU Commission stated.
According to experts, the relationship between the European Union and the United States remains a keystone of global stability. Following the second term of Trump, both sides navigate complex issues, such as trade, security, and climate change.
Ursula von der Leyen has been active in engaging with U.S. leaders to strengthen transatlantic ties, including past interactions with Vice President Kamala Harris before she departed from office.
What is the significance of Von der Leyen’s meeting with Vance?
The talks between European Commissioner Ursula von der Leyen and U.S. officials, including possible meetings with Vice President JD Vance, would be critical in the wake of President Donald Trump’s latest warnings about imposing tariffs on the European Union.
On February 3, 2025, Trump said that tariffs on EU imports “will definitely happen” and could come soon because of perceived trade imbalances. He condemned the EU for not importing enough American goods, though exporting a large number of them to the US.
How is the EU preparing for trade negotiations with the US?
In her remarks, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen fired back at President Donald Trump’s tariff threats. She stated that the EU is ready for “tough negotiations.” Von der Leyen stressed that she is committed to safeguarding European interests.
The EU would continue looking for common ground in negotiations with the United States but would not forget its interests, according to Von der Leyen. She noted that the EU would always pursue its interests while showing a pragmatic approach toward dispute resolution through dialogue.
