Climate protests were held yesterday in many cities, especially Berlin, the capital of Germany on the occasion of the 13th International Day of Climate Action. The demonstration in front of the historical Brandenburg Gate in Berlin, which was organized under the slogan ‘Fridays for Future’, attracted nearly 10,000 protestors. Speakers on the stage set up in front of the Brandenburg Gate drew attention to the ever-increasing global warming and emphasized that politicians should take action as soon as possible to protect the climate and the world.

“People are dying; people are suffering. But despite this, sufficient precautions are not taken against the climate crisis. This problem is not taken seriously,” said one speaker.

EU Trade Commissioner Maros Sefcovic warned that a proposed 30% US tariff on European goods would effectively amount to a trade ban, severely disrupting transatlantic supply chains.

Speaking ahead of the EU Foreign Affairs Council in Brussels, Sefcovic expressed disappointment over a letter from US President Donald Trump that halted expected trade progress. “We were close to an agreement,” he said, but now “must prepare for all outcomes.”

The EU has delayed retaliatory measures on $72 billion worth of US goods until August 1, hoping for a negotiated resolution. Sefcovic emphasized that “no one wants a trade war,” while France urged faster preparation for countermeasures and Hungary blamed the EU Commission’s weak response to US pressure.

Danish and Lithuanian ministers echoed calls to avoid escalation but emphasized EU readiness to defend its interests.
