I hope that Europe and the USA can come to an agreement on an ideal situation, in my opinion, with a duty-free situation that can effectively create a free trade zone between Europe and North America, says Musk in a video published on X by Italy's Vice Prime Minister Matteo Salvini.

Trump, on the other hand, said in a post on Truth Social on Saturday regarding the tariffs that "it's an economic revolution, and we're going to win. Keep being unyielding, it won't be easy, but the end result will be historic".

According to the President, his administration will "take back jobs and businesses like never before".

At the same time, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and French President Emmanuel Macron have discussed the tariffs imposed by the White House over the phone.

They are said to agree that a trade war is not in anyone's interest, but that nothing can be ruled out, according to Downing Street.
