Europees handelsbeleid laveert tussen openheid en ‘Trumpiaans’ protectionisme (Vrije tribune)

In deze vrije tribune analyseert Pieter Cleppe, hoofdredacteur van BrusselsReport.eu, het Europese handelsbeleid. Terwijl de Europese Unie zich profileert als kampioen van vrije handel, sluipen tegelijk steeds meer protectionistische reflexen in haar beleid. Tegen de achtergrond van Trumps assertieve handelspolitiek plaatst hij die evolutie in perspectief. Zijn conclusie is scherp: wie geloofwaardig voor open handel wil pleiten, moet eerst in eigen huis orde op zaken stellen.

US President Donald Trump (R) and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen (L) speak to the press after agreeing on a trade deal between the two economies following their meeting, in Turnberry south west Scotland on July 27, 2025, on the third day of his visit to the country, since his second tenure as President began. US President Donald Trump said on July 27, 2025 that he had reached a trade agreement with European Union chief Ursula von der Leyen. "We have reached a deal. It's a good deal for everybody," Trump told reporters after talks with von der Leyen at his golf resort in Turnberry, Scotland. The EU chief also hailed it as a "good deal". Brendan SMIALOWSKI / AFP
