The president offers many reasons for imposing tariffs, including revenue, leverage over competitors and job creation. But history suggests a more complex history.

President Trump has acknowledged in recent days that the United States may be headed into a recession, even as he doubles down on imposing tariffs on Canada, Mexico, China and the European Union.

Europe Expected a Transactional Trump. It Got Something Else.

The Guardian view on US-Europe relations: Britain is coming to a fork in the road | Editorial

12 mars 2025 à 19:53

For now Keir Starmer can say there is a middle way, but Donald Trump will soon force Britain to pick a side

No country can avoid the economic impact of Donald Trump’s aggressive trade policy. There are no exceptions to the president’s global tariff on aluminium and steel and no escaping the general volatility and constant uncertainty provoked by a capricious regime. But Britain is lucky not to be a direct target.

Mr Trump has no border-related grievance against the UK, as he does with Mexico and Canada. The balance of bilateral trade is neutral enough for Britain to avoid being listed among the nations that sell more to the US than they buy from it. The White House sees that asymmetry as a devious scam, for which tariffs are a form of retribution.

Greenland votes for change but coalition talks will govern how it reacts to Trump | Miranda Bryant

The tone of relations with the US may depend on whether second-placed Naleraq ends up inside the government

It was an election that was fought on the global stage with sporadic commentary from Donald Trump. But in the end, it was domestic issues that drove Greenlanders to the polls to vote overwhelmingly for change.

Ever since his son, Donald Trump Jr, touched down in a Trump-branded plane at Nuuk’s new airport in January, the US president has made no secret of his renewed desire to gain control of the Arctic island, refusing to rule out economic or military force to do so.

What leverage does Trump have over Putin in Ukraine negotiations?

12 mars 2025 à 16:13

The Russian president remains unwavering in his demands, making wider sanctions and tariffs ineffective

Ukraine’s agreement to support a US proposal for a 30-day ceasefire in its war against Russia’s invasion has focused attention on what Moscow may or may not agree to, and what pressure can be brought to bear on Vladimir Putin by the Trump administration.

While the question has frequently been asked over the last few years as to what leverage Putin might have over Trump, the question here is what leverage Trump might have to persuade Putin.

Dans les médias publics hongrois, un récit pro-russe

12 mars 2025 à 18:08
Dans le sursaut européen en matière de défense et la solidarité européenne vis-à-vis de l’Ukraine, il y a une exception de taille, c’est la Hongrie. Le régime de Viktor Orban ne cache pas sa proximité avec le président russe Vladimir Poutine. Et pour s’assurer du soutien domestique, il mène une campagne de communication très sophistiquée et pro-russe, où se mêlent fausses informations, et des silences très choisis. Dans cette guerre de l’information, les médias indépendants qui veulent rétablir les faits, n’ont que peu de pouvoir. Reportage à Budapest signé Florence Labruyère.

Trump hints at financial repercussions if Russia rejects Ukraine ceasefire

US president’s comments come after Ukrainian counterpart said he believed ‘strong steps’ were under consideration

Donald Trump has suggested he could target Russia financially as Ukraine’s president urged him to take strong steps if Moscow failed to support a 30-day ceasefire agreed at a meeting between Ukrainian and US delegations in Saudi Arabia.

The president’s threat came as the French defence minister, Sébastien Lecornu, told a press conference in Paris that a ceasefire announcement could come as soon as Thursday and that Europe would have to be prepared to help enforce it.

Art of a deal: how UK and France led dogged effort to repair US-Ukraine ties – for now

Over 11 days of breakneck diplomacy, Kyiv was convinced of need to pacify Trump, but reconciliation may be all too brief

The 11 days of whiplash-inducing talks British and French officials endured to repair shattered relations between Washington and Kyiv, and for the first time put Donald Trump’s trust in Vladimir Putin to the test, could go down as one of the great feats of diplomatic escapology.

The dogged fence-mending may yet unravel as hurdles remain, principally the outstanding question of Ukraine’s security guarantees, but for the first time, in the words of Marco Rubio, the US secretary of state, the ball is in Russia’s court. Putin, by instinct cautious, has preferred watching from the sidelines, suppressing his delight as Trump denounced Volodymyr Zelenskyy to his face in the White House and wreaked subsequent vengeance by stopping all military aid and then pulling some US intelligence.
