00:00Finally, I would like to speak directly to my fellow Europeans.
00:06I know that many of you feel let down by our oldest ally.
00:12Yes, we must brace for the impact that this will inevitably have.
00:19Europe has everything it needs to make it through the storm.
00:23We are in this together.
00:26If you take on one of us, you take on all of us.
00:30So we will stand together and stand up for each other.
00:35Our unity is our strength.
00:39Europe has the largest single market in the world – 450 million consumers.
00:44That is our safe harbour in tumultuous times.
00:49And Europe will stand at the side of those directly impacted.
00:53We have already announced new measures to support the steel and cars sectors.
00:59Last week, we limited the amount of steel that can be imported to Europe tariff-free.
01:07This will give more breathing space to these strategic industries.
01:12Now, we will also convene strategic dialogues with the steel, the automotive and the pharmaceutical
01:19sectors.
01:21And others will follow.
01:24Europe stands together – for our business, for our citizens, and for all Europeans.
01:32And we will continue to build bridges with all those that, like us, care about fair and
01:39rules-based trade as a basis for shared prosperity.
