Ursula von der Leyen, the president of the European Commission, said in a Politico report published Tuesday that \u201ccountries are lining up to work with us\u201d amid economic anxiety<\/a> around President Trump’s tariffs.<\/p>\n

“In a more and more unpredictable global environment, countries are lining up to work with us,” von der Leyen told Politico<\/a>, with the European leader saying countries were seeking \u201cstrong, reliable partners.\u201d<\/p>\n

The European Commission president also said that when it comes to the world order, fluctuation is occurring \u201cmore deeply than at any time since the Cold War ended.”<\/p>\n

Following Trump’s unveiling of sweeping tariffs earlier this month, von der Leyen criticized them and told Europeans<\/a> that she knew \u201cthat many of you feel let down by our oldest ally.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cPresident Trump\u2019s announcement of universal tariffs on the whole world, including the European Union, is a major blow to the world economy. I deeply regret this choice. Let\u2019s be clear-eyed about the immense consequences. The global economy will massively suffer,\u201d she said at the time.<\/p>\n

In the Politico interview, von der Leyen said she has since spoken with leaders from Iceland, New Zealand, Malaysia, the Philippines, Canada, India and the United Arab Emirates. <\/p>\n

In early April, Trump issued a 90-day pause on \u201creciprocal\u201d tariffs against trading partners<\/a> amid market instability, while driving up tariffs on<\/a> China. The European Union (EU) is among those who have been targeted with tariffs, a group that also includes longtime U.S. allies such as Vietnam, India and South Korea.<\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s recent moves on tariffs have strained long-standing relationships with the EU and Canada, with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney saying in March that the old<\/a> U.S.-Canada relationship is \u201cover.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe old relationship we had with the United States based on deepening integration of our economies and tight security and military cooperation is over,\u201d Carney said.<\/p>\n
