The recent game between the United States and the United States has already explained one problem, which is Trump cannot win China by fighting alone.Even the United States has gradually fallen into a disadvantage. Obviously, he himself is aware of this problem, so he wants to woo his allies to deal with China together.

But can Trump really unite his European allies to impose sanctions on China?

Trump pulls allies to support him

After China's comprehensive upgrading of rare-earth export control measures, the U.S. side can be called a scandal. Trump just made a malicious remark, threatening to impose a 100% tariff, and turned around to say that the high tariff blackmail against China was "unsustainable".

In an even more devastating statement, Treasury Secretary Bessent said that China¡¯s move was ¡°against the whole world¡±, which would force the United States and other countries to ¡°dissociate¡± with China.

As soon as this remark came out, Obviously trying to isolate China, and the United States also understands that it will not work alone. They want to win over their allies to sanction China.

Trump even said that If Europe is willing to cooperate, the United States will consider imposing tariffs on China's purchase of Russian oil, and about 85 lawmakers have planned to grant Trump the power to impose tariffs of up to 500% on China.

Although Trump has made his statement clearly, will Europe really unite as he wishes to deal with China? Obviously not.

There is a wide range of cooperation between Central Europe and China as an important trading partner and investment destination, and its economic ties with Europe have long been broken down. If sanctions are imposed on China, it will mean losing a huge Chinese market, which is undoubtedly a huge loss of profits for European companies.

For example, German BMW, Mercedes, Volkswagen, French Chanel, Louis Vuitton and other luxury goods, these products are deeply loved by consumers in China. If these countries choose to sanction China, the export of their goods to China will inevitably be blocked. What's more serious is that their long-term accumulated market share may also be seized by other competitors.

In particular, European countries have different interests on different issues. Its interior is not monolithic, but now it involves interests. How much its "loyalty" to Trump remains to be seen.

Don't forget, During the previous trade negotiations, Trump did not raise his hand because Europe is an ally, and now someone needs to struggle against China to think of allies?

Three U.S. allies rebel

Just as Bescent was forcing his allies to decouple from China, Canadian Foreign Minister Anand came to China on the 17th to meet with China Foreign Minister Wang Yi to seek to improve bilateral relations.

According to reports, The two sides met to discuss the oil seeds and electric vehicle trade dispute, after Canada announced a 100% tariff on Chinese electric vehicles last year, China imposed up to 75.8% warranty on imports of oil seeds originating in Canada.

The two sides agreed to maintain regular and honest communication, promote the resolution of their respective legitimate concerns and strengthen cooperation in multilateral affairs.

In addition to, The Australian Treasury Secretary, who is on a visit to Washington, has made it clear that Australia may help address the weak link in the global key mineral supply chain, but has clearly opposed the U.S.¡¯s ¡°disconnect¡± statement.

He said the United States is the closest ally, China is the largest trading partner, and it is very important for Australia to balance between China and the United States.

some time ago, As China requested RMB for settlement and suspended the purchase of BHP Billiton iron ore in Australia, Australia finally agreed to use RMB for settlement, and China successfully obtained the pricing power of iron ore.

Not only that, The Dutch Economic Affairs Minister also said recently that the Netherlands intends to open a negotiation process with China around the restrictions on the chip manufacturer Anselm Semiconductor, while hoping to ensure the company's long-term development in the Netherlands.

This was due to the Dutch government intervention in the previous period of time, Chinese chip manufacturer Zhou Tai Technologies holding subsidiary Anselm Semiconductor, the Chinese government prohibited Anselm Semiconductor exports of products and components produced in China.

It is not difficult to see that under China's tough countermeasures, these countries finally chose to negotiate a solution with China.And isn¡¯t Trump pulling allies to encircle China taking their backs?

When American soybean farmers suffer because of Trump's policies, their allies should be soberly aware that the consequences of following Trump to impose sanctions on China will eventually backfire to them.
