Technology billionaire Elon Musk has called for a free trade area between the United States and Europe without rates, in the midst of increasing political tensions. His statements took place during a conference organized by the Italian Extraction League Party, shortly after the President of the United States, Donald Trump, announced a 20% rate to imports from the European Union.

“Ideally, both Europe and the United States should move to a situation of zero-tariffs, effectively creating a free trade area between Europe and North America,” he said.

Musk’s defense for a zero-tariff area and the open open movement aligns with its long-term belief in the free flow of innovation and talent. Despite tensions, his vision promotes a more integrated economic relationship between the United States and Europe. “This has undoubtedly been my advice to the President,” emphasized Musk, strengthening his commitment to the idea.

Currently, the economic landscape between the United States and Europe is tense due to Trump’s protectionist measures, but Musk’s proposals introduce a different perspective on potential cooperation.

In addition to his commercial proposals, Musk has also expressed its support for greater freedom of movements for workers between Europe and North America. “If people want to work in Europe or want to work in North America, they should be allowed to do it in my opinion,” he said, noting that he had shared this council with President Trump. This stance is a bit contrary to the anti-immigration feeling that predominates in many political circles on the right.

In the midst of the commercial tensions that increase, the Minister of Economy of Italy, Giancarlo Giorgetti, a member of the League, urged “de -escalation” in response to United States’ rates. Giorgetti warned retaliation’s actions that could lead to economic interruption. In the meantime, the European Union aims to respond to United States rates “unified and carefully, unified, as stated by the EU Chief of Commerce, Maros Sefcovic.

Musk’s growing political participation is evident in its support for right -wing European parties such as the Italy League and the AFD of Germany. Its appearance at the League Conference is a reflection of its growing affinity with far -right European policy, as well as its role in the administration of President Trump as head of the Government Efficiency Department.

During the conference, Musk criticized EU regulations, describing them as heavy and unless. He warned of “the dangers of censorship and mass immigration”, aligning with some of President Trump’s opinions on these issues. Musk’s support for Trump’s domestic policies is accompanied by his guarantee of figures such as Salvini, strengthening his links with the Conservative Block of Italy.
