Musk says he hopes for 'zero tariffs' between US and Europe
US tech-billionaire Elon Musk said on Saturday, April 5, he hoped in future to see complete freedom of trade between the United States and Europe, speaking days after US President Donald Trump announced tariffs on trading partners.
Musk, a Trump adviser who has been working to reduce US public spending, spoke via video-link at a congress in Florence of Italy's right-wing, co-ruling League Party.
"At the end of the day, I hope it's agreed that both Europe and the United States should move ideally, in my view, to a zero tariff situation, effectively creating a free trade zone between Europe and North America," Musk said.

00:00Well, I hope that the United States and Europe can establish a very close partnership.
00:13We obviously are, there's an alliance already, but I'm hopeful that there can be a very close
00:19relationship with America and Europe.
00:24And I'm hopeful, for example, with the tariffs, that at the end of the day, I hope it is agreed
00:30that both Europe and the United States should move ideally, in my view, to a zero tariff
00:36situation, effectively creating a free trade zone between Europe and North America.
00:44And that would be my, that's what I hope occurs.
00:51And also more freedom of people to move between Europe and North America, if they wish.
00:57If they wish to work in Europe or wish to work in America, they should be allowed to
01:01do so, in my view.
01:04So that has certainly been my advice to the President.
