Mitsotakis, Trump Discuss EU-US 'Win-Win' Trade Deal

Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis is advocating for a 'win-win' free trade deal between the European Union and the United States, emphasizing the mutual benefits of zero tariffs within a 90-day negotiation window. Mitsotakis has expressed his willingness to support U.S. President Donald Trump in expanding the Abraham Accords and fostering economic ties in the Mediterranean region. EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen supports this initiative, highlighting the importance of stable trade conditions and advocating for a zero-for-zero tariff agreement. Trump has shown agreement with Mitsotakis’s propositions, emphasizing a need for fair trade deals to address historical trade imbalances. The Greek Prime Minister also suggests exploring alternative markets, like India, to mitigate potential impacts on Greek industries. Mitsotakis’s stance reflects a broader European willingness to engage constructively with the U.S. amidst ongoing global trade tensions.
