Farmers Unite Against Potential US-EU Tariff War; Trump Addresses China and Ukraine

Agricultural organizations from the US and EU, including Coldiretti and the National Farmers' Union (NFU), have jointly appealed to President Trump and EU Commission President von der Leyen to avert a tariff war. They warn of dire consequences for farmers, consumers, and rural economies. The NFU and Coldiretti urged an immediate end to trade escalations affecting the agricultural sector, citing threats to market stability, food security, and economic sustainability. Trump, meanwhile, addressed US-China relations, stating he doesn't want war but is prepared. He dismissed reports of showing China war plans to Elon Musk as "fake news." Trump also expressed optimism about a Russia-Ukraine ceasefire, anticipating a comprehensive agreement involving territorial negotiations. He also stated that without the US, NATO has no importance.
