While the planet is shocked by the sweeping new duties imposed on dozens of countries by Donald Trump, Maskone of the close associates of the US president and a member of the US government, today (5/4/25) expressed the hope of a “free trade zone” between Europe and North America, with “zero duties”.
Europe and the US “should ideally move, in my opinion, to a state of zero customs duties, practically creating a free trade zone between Europe and North America,” Elon Musk said, speaking via a video at a conference of the Italian anti -immigration party.
“I hope that the US and Europe can create a very close cooperation,” said one of the richest people in the world, responding to Matteo Salvini, one of his fans, leader of the far -right Lega Party and Vice President of the Italian government.
His statements come three days after the signing of Trump’s executive decree on new sweeping duties, which for the European Union the additional duty is 20% in goods reaching the US from EU countries.
Saying that he is in favor of “more freedom of movement between Europe and North America”, Musk said: “Whether we want to work in Europe or in the US, we should be able to do so, in my opinion,” he said he has discussed with Trump on this issue.
During his fifteen -minute speech aired on a giant screen, the boss of Tesla, Spacex and the X platform, Musk, who maintains friendly relations with Italian Prime Minister Georgia Meloni, has once again criticized the “mass migration” of the “mass migration”.
