Greek PM Kyriakos Mitsotakis expressed hope for a “win-win” EU–U.S. trade deal after Trump paused new tariffs, urging renewed negotiations and highlighting the mutual importance of strong transatlantic economic ties amid easing trade tensions.
Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis has voiced optimism that Europe and the United States can reach a “win-win” trade agreement, following a sudden shift in U.S. policy on global tariffs. Speaking to Breitbart from Athens, Mitsotakis emphasised the importance of a balanced and mutually beneficial solution.
His remarks came just hours after U.S. President Donald Trump announced a temporary suspension of recently imposed tariffs on several nations—excluding China—sending global markets soaring. The European Union responded swiftly, preparing to launch limited countermeasures while welcoming the pause in escalation.
“There is still room for negotiations,” Mitsotakis stated, signalling a diplomatic opening before Europe moves ahead with broader retaliation. He highlighted the mutual economic value of maintaining strong transatlantic trade ties, saying, “Europe is important for the U.S., and the U.S. is important for Europe.”
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen also expressed cautious optimism, describing Trump’s shift as a potential opportunity to reset dialogue.
As global trade tensions ease slightly, Mitsotakis’ comments underscore a broader European desire to stabilise relations and seek practical outcomes amid ongoing uncertainty. The coming weeks will prove crucial in shaping the future of EU–US economic cooperation.
