08:33and one of the challenges of former Health Secretary West Streeting
08:37has already adopted a much bolder line on the post-Brexit relationship,
08:42saying there needs to be a special relationship
08:44and even the possibility of rejoining the EU.
08:47Should that now be the Labour Party and the Labour government's line as well?
08:51Look, I've been a Remainer from the beginning of time
08:55and I remain a Remainer and I will remain a Remainer until my dying day.
08:59So, of course, I would love to see the UK as a member of the European Union,
09:03but a vote was taken in 2016 and we had a general election in 2024
09:08in which we made commitments to the British public,
09:11which I don't think we're about to surrender.
09:15The truth of the matter is we just need to get a common-sense approach
09:19to so many different issues, whether it's business travel,
09:22it's British performing artists being able to tour around Europe,
09:25or it's standing up to the security threat and our need, for instance,
09:31we will need to produce more steel, green steel, in Europe, including in the UK,
09:36to be able to create the armaments that we're going to need for the future
09:40if we're going to really significantly invest, as we've all said we're going to,
09:44in defence and security.
09:47Now, if we're going to do that, we need to make sure
09:49that we have a good deal between the EU and the UK on steel, for instance.
09:53We need to make sure that British cars and electric vehicles
09:57can be sold in the European Union without additional burdens.
10:01All of these things, I think, to be honest, are just common sense.
10:03You also mentioned steel.
10:05The EU has recently halved its quotas and doubled its tariffs on foreign steel
10:09in response to the more hostile international landscape it's operating in.
10:14Are you afraid that the UK will be caught in that?
10:18So on steel, we are having very productive conversations with steel.
10:22We ourselves are introducing new steel trade measures on the 1st of July,
10:26just as the European Union is.
10:28We need to make sure that we don't provide a problem for each other,
10:31because, frankly, the problem of that overcapacity in steel,
10:34which undermines sovereign steel capacity on the continent of Europe,
10:39is not provided by us.
10:41It's provided by China and some other countries in the world.
10:44But I'm very confident that we will come to a good arrangement on that.
10:47In relation to the idea of a European preference,
10:51a préférence aérobienne or made-in-Europe campaign,
10:54I'm very confident that people accept this idea,
10:57that the supply chains, in particular for cars and electric vehicles across Europe,
11:02include the UK.
11:04And if we're going to make sure that the whole of the continent of Europe prospers,
11:08I think made-in-Europe will probably will have to include the UK as part of that agenda.
11:16Now moving on to NATO,
11:17where foreign ministers are preparing for a two-day summit in Sweden,
11:21where concerns over military hardware due to the US-Israel war in Iran are top of the agenda.
11:26Also on their plate,
11:28how Europe can assist in the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz,
11:31if and when a resolution to the conflict emerges.
11:34For more, we can call straight over to NATO, to your news correspondent, Shona Murray.
11:38Good morning, Shona.
11:39So military chiefs are very worried about ammunition stocks.
11:42What are they saying to you?
11:46Well, good morning, Maeve.
11:47Indeed, NATO foreign affairs ministers are meeting in Sweden for the next couple of days
11:51to discuss a number of seriously consequential issues that are facing the alliance,
11:55not least of which is this delivery of munitions.
11:57Because as we've seen,
11:59the United States is burning through its stockpiles of very critical weapons,
12:02including Patriot air defence systems.
12:05That can have a knock-on effect for Europe and Ukraine and its access to these weapons.
12:10In addition, Maeve, we've also seen over the last few weeks
12:13an announcement by the US for troop cuts across European territory
12:17and European NATO territory.
12:19And there's due to be a further announcement of this on Friday.
12:22Now, I'm joined here at NATO headquarters by Colonel Martin O'Donnell,
12:26who's a senior advisor to the Supreme Allied Commander of Europe.
12:30Martin, thanks a billion for joining us this morning.
12:32So, first of all, this troop cut.
12:33Now, we saw an announcement of 5,000 from Germany.
12:36Instead of taking 5,000 troops from Germany,
12:39the US is taking 4,000 or cancelling a brigade to Poland.
12:43But there is going to be subsequent cuts.
12:45The United States has already warned of this.
12:48But can you tell us a little bit more about the context?
12:51Yeah, sure.
12:51So I think you're talking about two separate things,
12:54but they share one thing in common.
12:56I'll talk about the two separate things.
12:57but on the commonality.
12:59That is, the United States has made it abundantly clear
13:03that it needs to focus elsewhere, not just in Europe.
13:07It has stressed Europeans need to step up.
13:11Europeans are stepping up.
13:12There is agreement within the alliance that a stronger Europe
13:16equals a stronger NATO.
13:17So that's the commonality that those two things share.
13:21Separately, if you look at each one,
13:23you talked about the 5,000 with the 4,000.
13:25The 4,000 troops, the rotational brigade, earmarked for Poland,
13:30this has never been about Poland.
13:33The other 1,000 troops, obviously, coming from Germany,
13:38from a long-range fires unit there.
13:41And so those are rotational forces.
13:43Rotational forces can rotate in and out.
13:44What's happening now is that the Supreme Allied Commander,
13:48General Grinkovic, in both his capacity as Supreme Allied Commander
13:51and as European Commander,
13:53is looking at how he needs to potentially adjust forces inside Europe
13:57to compensate for that, both U.S. forces and NATO forces.
14:02Separately, yes, the U.S.,
14:08there's been indications that the U.S. will announce changes
14:11to the NATO force model.
14:12I think the important thing for your viewers to understand
14:15is that those adjustments have been discussed about with NATO
14:18over the course of the last many months.
14:20There should be no surprises on this.
14:23And it will focus on areas where we see Europeans
14:26very, very capable of stepping up.
14:28So the idea being that the first announcement was,
14:31is, I suppose, in the middle of a feud with Chancellor Mertz.
14:33This announcement is in relation to ongoing discussions
14:37and military planning.
14:38So it's a little bit more sort of forward planning.
14:41And can I ask you also about access to munitions?
14:44Because we've seen the United States burning through billions of dollars
14:47worth of weapons.
14:47Now there's concerns that Europeans won't be able to access
14:50what they need for Ukraine.
14:52Yeah.
14:52So I think the United States has also made this clear
14:56that there's enough munitions.
14:57Munitions are still flowing, both to Europe and, most importantly,
15:01to Ukraine.
15:02Cannot stress enough the importance of the PERL,
15:04the prioritized Ukraine requirements list,
15:06and the contributions that we continue to need from nations to step up.
15:10We've seen many, many contributions from many European nations.
15:13We need more to keep coming in to ensure these munitions
15:16can continue to go to Ukraine.
15:17But I suppose in terms of production, that's the key issue, isn't it?
15:19Because they can't keep up with the pace.
15:21So what needs to be done about production?
15:22Well, we need to increase our defense industrial base
15:25on both sides of the Atlantic.
15:26And that was a big part of the discussion that occurred here yesterday
15:29with the Chiefs of Defense meeting.
15:31I think that that will continue at the end of the week
15:33with the meeting of the foreign ministers.
15:35And just in relation to the drones,
15:37can you just quickly tell us a little bit about,
15:39because we've seen a lot more drone incursions
15:41across European territory.
15:42Just very quickly, is this something we need to be
15:45deeply concerned about?
15:46Yeah, so I think what, again, the viewers need to understand
15:50is we saw NATO shot down a drone yesterday
15:53that potentially threatened NATO airspace.
15:57We've done that before.
15:58We'll continue to do that.
15:59We're continuing to roll out ground-based interceptors
16:02for drones all along the Eastern Front
16:05as part of Eastern Century.
16:07And so viewers should be assured that NATO has a handle on this.
16:10Okay, Colonel Marlodon, thank you very much
16:12for joining us this morning.
16:12And back to you in studio, Maeve.
16:14Thank you so much.
16:15But now, as promised, it is time to dive deeper into our top story today.
16:19And that is, of course, that deal last night in Strasbourg
16:21on the EU-US trade deal.
16:23Maria, today, of course, is here with us on set.
16:25So over to you.
16:26Yes, Maeve.
16:27Let's now go to Bernd Lange,
16:29because he is a top negotiator for this file.
16:31A deal has been agreed yesterday night.
16:34Let's go straight to our guest in Strasbourg.
16:37And, sir, you've had no sleep, so thank you so much for joining us.
16:42I've got to admit, I've defended you many times, every time you've delayed the vote,
16:47because this is a consequential decision for Europeans.
16:50Nonetheless, I'm surprised.
16:51You've now agreed to it.
16:52What changed?
16:55First of all, it's not a deal.
16:57It's a legislation, and that's really important, and therefore we had to be really careful.
17:02And, secondly, we are not really delaying the process.
17:08The only delay we had was during the so-called Greenland exercise,
17:14where President Trump really used coercive measures against us.
17:19So now we have a safety net.
17:22So we are looking for safeguard mechanisms for a monitoring system.
17:26We are looking really to suspension clause,
17:29and we have also a clear sunset for the whole legislation.
17:34So this is a package which gives predictability and safety for us,
17:39for our consumer, and for our industry.
17:41Therefore, I'm quite happy that we concluded it.
17:43But, sir, do you honestly believe that?
17:46Do you think you're going to have a more stable relationship with President Trump?
17:49Because some would argue you've agreed to it,
17:51because it's threatening you to double tariffs on the cars.
17:53That's really what changed, nothing else.
17:57Yeah, of course, we have now security, and that's so important.
18:01If, and as you know, this current legal base in the United States,
18:06the Strait Act 1 to 2, is expiring on the 24th of July,
18:10and nobody knows what will come after.
18:13And we have now clear criteria that if our deal is not respected on the U.S. side,
18:20then we will lift again the tariffs.
18:23Or secondly, as you know, the United States have really increased tariff
18:29for washing machine and other products after the deal of Scotland was concluded,
18:34and we want to bring them back.
18:36And also this has to be in our legislation.
18:39So this gives us insurance that we can act in a proper way
18:45if there are turbulences on the other side of the Atlantic.
18:48Mr. Lange, some would say it's in fact the opposite.
18:51The safeguards have been watered down.
18:53There is a clause here that argues the deal can be halted,
18:57but only after 2029.
18:58President Trump will be gone by then.
19:00Do you really believe you have the safeguards in place
19:03so that this is a balanced deal?
19:08I will not make any comment on the deal of Scotland.
19:11Now we have really a safety net.
19:14And yes, we have safeguards.
19:16We will have a monitoring of the economic consequences
19:19inside the European Union starting three months
19:23after this legislation is coming into force.
19:26And we have a lot of suspension clauses.
19:28And we have also clear regulation that
19:31if the United States will not decrease the tariffs
19:35for this metal product until the end of the year,
19:39then we will lift our tariffs for this product.
19:44And yes, we have a sunset clause.
19:46And this is really totally new.
19:48This was not foreseen.
19:49We will have an impact assessment about the whole exercise.
19:52And then we will start negotiations
19:55after three years with the United States.
19:58So there is a really big package for giving us predictability.
20:02Although, of course, the sunset clause only kicks in in 2029,
20:05one year after President Trump leaves office.
20:07But I have to ask you about steel and aluminum
20:09because this is very important for the European industry.
20:11What makes you think the U.S. will agree to lower them from 50%
20:15because we have seen no movement over a year?
20:17This is very painful for the European industry.
20:21That's not totally correct.
20:24So we have some movement on the 2nd of April.
20:26So I'm a motorcycle driver.
20:30And motorcycles are relieved from this tariff.
20:34So back to 50%.
20:35And some other products as well, but not all of them.
20:39So we are in contact.
20:41And we give them a time until the end of the year.
20:43And if then it's not happening,
20:45then we will come back to our tariffs.
20:48So there is some room for maneuver on the U.S. side.
20:52And I hope that the U.S. administration will act properly.
20:58I just have to ask a final question.
21:00Now that you've agreed to expedite this,
21:02you say, I hope the U.S. will agree and comply too.
21:05Do you trust President Trump ultimately?
21:07Do you honestly believe he will go through his words?
21:14You never know what is coming in his mind.
21:17But we have the possibility to act.
21:20So if the conditions are not fulfilled,
21:22then we will reestablish immediately the European tariffs for U.S. products.
21:28And this is a clear message.
21:30Stick, President Trump, to the deal of Scotland.
21:34Then, of course, we can act in a proper way.
21:37If not, then we have our countermeasures ready.
21:40Well, Mr. Lange, thank you so much.
21:42I know you had a very short night.
21:43So thank you.
21:44I appreciate it for joining us this morning.
21:46Thank you so much as well to you, Maria, as well.
21:48And Bernd Lange, of course, will be having a busy day.
21:50He'll be speaking to the press a little bit later this morning.
21:52For more news, of course, on that compromise,
21:54you can read yournews.com.
21:56But that does bring this edition of Europe Today to a close.
21:59Reach out to us at europetoday at yournews.com.
22:01That is our email address.
22:02But as always, thank you so much for tuning in.
22:04Take care of yourself and see you soon on Europe News.
