The head of foreign policy of the European Union, Kaja Kallas, expressed her opposition to China being considered a problem amid tensions between the United States and Europe. Regarding a possible ceasefire in Ukraine, Kallas pointed out that Russia has a history of not adhering to previous agreements and that Moscow must demonstrate goodwill this time.
Kallas has been critical of Trump's foreign policy and has advocated for strong European leadership in times of global challenges. She has insisted that any peace agreement must include Ukraine and Europe in the discussions, avoiding their marginalization.
In her diplomatic efforts with the United States, Kallas faced setbacks, such as the cancellation of a meeting with Secretary of State Marco Rubio due to scheduling issues. Despite this, she highlighted the importance of maintaining calm and acting with moderation amid trade tensions, as tariff wars can affect consumers with inflationary increases.
Kallas's statements come in the context of trade tensions between the United States and the European Union, with threats of tariffs from both sides. These disputes have affected European manufacturers of alcoholic beverages, such as LVMH, Rémy Cointreau SA, and Pernod Ricard, whose stocks have fallen in response to Trump's latest tariff threats.
Amid these tensions, the spokesperson for China's Foreign Ministry emphasized that there would be no winners in a trade or technological war, urging moderation and dialogue as ways to resolve international trade conflicts.
