European Union taking steps to increase trade to Middle East because of US trade policies
The European Union continues to work to increase trade with other lands, triggered in part by trade policies of the Trump Administration. Notice the following:
Exclusive: EU countries push to abolish trade barriers with Mediterranean partners
26 August 2025
In the forthcoming Pact for the Mediterranean, the EU consider to relaunch an attempt at deeper integration with Mediterranean countries, amid instability in its relations with the US and China.
Several EU countries are pushing to use a forthcoming EU strategic deal over the Mediterranean to drop trade barriers with selected North African and Middle Eastern states and having them “align with EU single market rules”, according to a European Commission document seen by Euronews. …
The pact for the Mediterranean, expected to be presented by the EU executive in mid-October, is intended to establish a combination of existing and new bilateral agreements between the EU and selected Mediterranean countries across various sectors.
The pact relates to Algeria, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, Palestine, Tunisia and Syria.
“Consultations will also seek to incorporate the perspectives of neighbours, notably the Gulf countries and Türkiye, recognising their significant strategic interests, contribution and influence within the region,” the document reads.
Through this initiative, the European Commission seeks to strengthen integration in the Mediterranean region, particularly in light of commercial instabilities with traditional allies such as the United States. https://www.euronews.com/my-europe/2025/08/26/exclusive-eu-countries-push-to-abolish-trade-barriers-with-mediterranean-partners
Yes, the EU is making trade moves away from the USA.
Another interesting thing about this is that the Bible shows that the Europeans will make various deals with those of the Middle East (e.g. Psalm 83:4-8; Daniel 9:27, 11:25). So, what is happening now could be considered as a prelude to future deals between them.
Regarding trade, now notice something from my 2025 book available at Amazon Kindle: Unintended Consequences and Donald Trump’s Presidency: Is Donald Trump Fulfilling Biblical, Islamic, Greco-Roman Catholic, Buddhist, and other America-Related Prophecies? as well as Amazon print :
Trade …
One of the unintended consequences of Donald Trump’s threats of tariffs and other trade matters is that it is motivating nations he has threatened to look to trade more with each other.
Europe will get more serious about trade deals with others internationally …
- Pushing tariffs and other policies that foreign nations do not like is contributing to other nations looking to bypass the USA dollar, as well as trade more with each other and less with the USA. This will further push various globalist’s moves forward without the USA. This is also helping set the stage for the coming European Babylonian Beast to dominate international trade.
(Thiel B. Unintended Consequences and Donald Trump’s Presidency: Is Donald Trump Fulfilling Biblical, Islamic, Greco-Roman Catholic, Buddhist, and other America-Related Prophecies? Nazarene Books, 2025)
Such moves are happening in Europe.
Notice also number 8 of my 25 items to prophetically watch in 2025:
8. Trade
Not all warfare is militaristic. There is also economic warfare.
This often involves trade. …
Donald Trump’s reelection is a major concern for Europe and its trade.
In 2018, I wrote:
The Europeans have been working with Latin America, China, Russia’s Eurasian Union, and other areas of the world to try to set up its dominance of world trade as well as standards for world trade. (19 items to prophetically watch in 2019)
Such deals have been happening. But expect more concrete action, at least partially because of the reelection of Donald Trump, along with J.D. Vance.
Europe will reach out to various ones in Asia and Africa, as well as Latin America. In the next several years, deals and more trade will occur with Africa, Asia, and Latin America. …
The Europeans will work with many nations to secure stronger trade agreements.
The Europeans already resent the deal. Furthermore, they have a different understanding of the deal than the USA does.
Things will not turn out as Donald Trump hopes (cf. Daniel 11:39).
Related to future trade, we put together the following video:
Trade Wars – and the Winner will be …
US President Trump imposed tariffs on a global scale. Those tariffs were imposed on friend and foe alike. It seems as if President Trump is no respecter of nations. But how will this work out for the United States? Will these tariffs result in other nations drawing closer together that have had rather cold, and even not so cold, relations in the past? Will global tariffs result in trade wars? Were the events which are happening predicted by any in the Continuing Church of God? Is Europe drawing closer to China? Is Europe drawing closer to Latin and South America? With the exception of a few of America’s allies, is the net result of these tariffs a worldwide scramble to create new alliances and new trading partners to the exclusion of the United States? What will be the future result of these new alliances? Many of the nations that are now seeking new alliances were just recently America’s allies. They were her friends. Dr. Thiel brings to light the fate of America and her allies at the hands of her former friends, as revealed in the book of Lamentations. As we rapidly approach the end times listen in as Dr. Thiel brings to light world events. Then listen as he shines the light of Bible prophecy directly on the questions raised from these world events.
