Experts highlight that while U.S.-china negotiations have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/editor-daily-rundown-dem-rep-says-biden-shouldnt-run-in-2024-and-chinese-army-tells-citizens-to-prepare-for-war\/\" title=\"Editor Daily Rundown: Dem Rep Says Biden Shouldn\u2019t Run In 2024 And Chinese Army Tells Citizens To \u2018Prepare For War\u2019\">drawn global attention<\/a>, the role of other major markets like the EU will considerably influence the outcome.The EU has attempted to balance its relationships with both Washington and Beijing,but experts argue it must choose a clear side to help counter China&#8217;s growing influence.<\/p>\n<p>Michael Lucci,CEO of State Armor,stresses that the U.S. cannot manage supply chain resilience alone and that European allies must recognize China as an adversary and work to build supply chains free from Chinese coercion. John Czwartacki from Public Policy Solutions echoes this view, warning that Europe&#8217;s economic engagement with China undermines both its own security and its relationship with the U.S.<\/p>\n<p>The article points out that the U.S. remains the EU&#8217;s largest export market, while the EU imports significantly more from China, especially in critical sectors like steel, pharmaceuticals, technology, and telecommunications. Germany, as the EU&#8217;s economic leader, has notably increased imports from China over the past decade. This trade imbalance has been a contentious point during Trump&#8217;s presidency.<\/p>\n<p>while the U.S.-China trade agreement includes annual renewals and expresses hopes for longevity,it leaves unresolved issues such as Chinese purchases of U.S. products and the future of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/trump-strikes-uneasy-truce-with-china-washington-examiner\/\" title=\"... with ... ... ...\">critical mineral exports<\/a>. The EU&#8217;s position and cooperation are seen as key factors influencing the agreement&#8217;s success moving forward.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">EU must back US for China trade deal to hold, experts warn<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2389238\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>President <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\">Donald Trump<\/a> announced an uneasy trade truce with <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/china\/\">China<\/a> last week, but experts argue that Washington will need the support of the European Union if it is to hold.<\/p>\n<p>While the eyes of the world focused on the direct interactions between Washington and Beijing during trade negotiations, the true outcome lies in the actions of the rest of the world. Among the key markets is the EU, which has sought to play a balancing act between Washington and Beijing &mdash; much to the former&rsquo;s ire. For the latest trade truce between the U.S. and China to hold, some experts believe that the 27-nation bloc will need to choose a side.<\/p>\n<div class=\"recommended-stories\">\n<h2>Recommended Stories<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/world\/3875070\/rsf-commander-civilians-killed-el-fasher-massacre-sudan\/\">Top RSF commander estimates at least 7,000 civilians killed in El Fasher massacre in Sudan<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/world\/3874386\/zelensky-trump-work-end-hungary-veto-ukraine-entering-eu\/\">Zelensky says Trump will work to end Hungarian veto on Ukraine entering EU<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/world\/3874901\/antifa-claims-responsibility-arson-attack-germany\/\">&lsquo;MAGA freaks &#8230; follow Kirk to hell&rsquo;: Antifa claims responsibility for arson attack in Germany<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>Michael Lucci, founder and CEO of <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/statearmor.org\/\">State Armor<\/a>, a think tank focused on countering China&rsquo;s influence on the global stage, argued that Europe will be a key player in determining whether the U.S. can hold its ground against Beijing&rsquo;s encroaching influence.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;President Trump and the United States are doing their part to bring accountability to China, but the task of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/experts-weight-in-on-the-economys-impact-on-the-midterms\/\" title=\"Experts Weight in on the Economy&#039;s Impact on the Midterms\">building supply chains<\/a> outside their coercion is not only for America alone,&rdquo; he told the <em>Washington Examiner<\/em>. &ldquo;The rest of the free world, particularly our European allies, should recognize China as an adversary in the same way that China views the West as an adversary. That <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >means adequately protecting critical infrastructure<\/a>, and pursuing policies of building resilient supply chains controlled by free nations &mdash; not the CCP.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;The CCP will stop at nothing to achieve their stated goal of displacing the United States on the world stage. A world dominated by an authoritarian communist regime is not a world that anyone wants to live in,&rdquo; Lucci added.<\/p>\n<p>He praised Trump&rsquo;s taking of &ldquo;substantial steps&rdquo; to break U.S. dependence on Chinese critical mineral production and maneuvers to &ldquo;lead the free world in building new supply chains outside of Communist China&rsquo;s broad range of coercion.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>John Czwartacki, Co-Founder of Public Policy Solutions, made a similar argument, stating that European posturing toward China harms not only the U.S. but also itself.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Europe&rsquo;s acquiescence of China&rsquo;s economic aggression is both bad for their own security and undermines their relationship with the United States,&rdquo; he told the <em>Washington Examiner<\/em>. &ldquo;Now that President Trump has given our allies breathing room by bringing the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/china-retaliates-with-tariffs-against-us-washington-examiner\/\" title=\"... retaliates with tariffs against US ... ...\">impending trade war<\/a> to a pause, they should take this opportunity to recalibrate their punitive posture toward American companies and embrace a partnership that is mutually beneficial ahead of the next phase of negotiations.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>The U.S. is the EU&rsquo;s largest customer by a significant margin, accounting for <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.barrons.com\/news\/key-figures-in-eu-us-trade-c9abd092\">one-fifth<\/a> of all imports of its products. The same isn&rsquo;t true vice versa, however, with the bloc importing far more Chinese goods than American.<\/p>\n<p>China particularly dominates several industries key to European national security, including steel, pharmaceuticals, tech, and telecommunications. Roughly 37% of all European steel imports in 2024 came from China.<\/p>\n<p>Germany, the economic heavyweight of the <span style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\">European Union EU), has&nbsp;<a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/tradingeconomics.com\/germany\/imports\/china\">nearly doubled its imports<\/a>&nbsp;from China over the past decade, increasing from $103 billion&nbsp;<\/span>in 2015 to a peak of $208 billion in 2022. Over the same period, imports from the U.S. have stagnated, making up just $75 billion in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>This trade imbalance has been a major source of tension between Trump and the EU during his second term, with recent trade negotiations focusing on rectifying the issue.<\/p>\n<p>As part of the recent U.S.-China trade truce, the two countries will renew the agreement annually.
