Are you aware that the amount that Trump was showing in the chart was fabricated out of nothing?
Tue EU doesn't charge the US 39%, it just doesnt.
"The EU does not impose a 39% tariff on US goods
Available evidence shows that the real EU tariff rate is nowhere near the 39% mark.
The European Commission says it charges
an average tariff of just 1% on US products entering the EU market, "considering the actual trade in goods". It adds that the US administration collected approximately €7 billion of tariffs on EU products in 2023 compared to the EU's €3 billion on US goods.
A World Trade Organisation (WTO) estimate puts the average tariff rate on US products entering the EU slightly higher at 4.8%.
In both cases, this is far off the 39% figure quoted by the Trump administration."
