EU : 2 things to win trade war. It will simultaneously hurt the US economy and infuriate Trump
European companies could benefit from President Donald Trump's escalating trade war, analysts at Citi wrote to clients.
"Winning the trade war, albeit not from the sidelines anymore, remains a real opportunity for Europe," Citi said.
European corporates can steal market share from American firms in markets like China while also benefitting in bilateral trade agreements as US influence wanes.
This could lead to both anger from Trump and damage to the US economy.
The EU has already threatened to hit the US with retaliatory tariffs on $300 billion.
As the growing trade war between the Trump administration and the rest of the world threatens to boil over, Europe and European companies stand to be the biggest beneficiaries — if they play their cards right.
That's according to some analysts at Citi, who believe the burgeoning conflict provides "a real opportunity" for Europe.
Citi's weekly European economics note, compiled by a team led by Christian Schulz, argues that rising tariffs put in place by the Trump administration could allow European corporates to gain a competitive advantage over their American counterparts.
"Winning the trade war, albeit not from the sidelines anymore, remains a real opportunity for Europe," the team wrote to clients late last week.
