Hey there! Did you hear about the latest news between the United States and Europe? 🇺🇸🇪🇺
So, Donald Trump, who is about to become the President of the United States, has said he might put extra taxes, called tariffs, on things that the U.S. buys from other countries, including those from the European Union (that’s a group of countries in Europe that work together). These tariffs could be 10% to 20% more! 😲
But what do kids and teenagers in France think about this? CGTN went to Lyon, a big city in France, to find out!
Some French teens said that Trump’s words are often very shocking or provocative. They think that people should be careful and really think about what he means. 🤔
They also said that if these tariffs actually happen, it might end up hurting regular people like you and me. That’s because things from Europe could become more expensive in the U.S., and if Europe responds, things from the U.S. could become more expensive in Europe too. 🛍️💸
In the end, it’s important to stay informed and understand how big decisions like these can affect everyone. What do you think about this situation? Let us know! 😊
