The reaction to the customs war was predictable. A stock exchange earthquake from Japan through Europe to America must last without tense decisions – said Prime Minister Donald Tusk. However, the Head of Government pointed out that Poland's asset is "political and economical stability".
"Poland's stock exchange besides got ricochet, but political and economical stableness are our assets at this hard time. We will stay calmly!” stressed Donald Tusk on social media.
Before the introduction of customs, Donald Tusk made an appeal to the president of the United States. The Prime Minister stressed that "in our common European-American interest is the strong United States, the strong European Union and the strong NATO". “Not weaker,” he said.
– Think about it, Mr president and dear American friends, before you decide to impose duties on your closest allies. Cooperation is always better than confrontation," summed up Donald Tusk.
Apparently, however, Donald Trump failed to convince. On 2 April, the president of the United States signed a regulation imposing "counterfeit duties" of at least 10% on goods imported from abroad. For goods from the European Union, they will amount to 20%.
