Serbian President Vucic to Newsmax: 90-Day Tariffs Pause ‘Very Good Step Forward’

In an exclusive interview with Newsmax’s sister network, Newsmax Balkans, Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic said Thursday he thinks President Donald Trump’s decision to pause sweeping international tariffs was a “very good step forward.”

“I just wanted to say that we are very happy to see kind of a reset, a pause announced by President Trump, and we got at least 90 days,” Vucic said. “When we heard a decision when President Trump imposed tariffs on Serbia, 37%, we were calm and tranquil and we started discussions and conversations with our friends from the United States in order to either revoke those tariffs, because we didn’t want to counter it, and we just wanted to resolve it in a very friendly way, and this is a very good step forward.

“I think that it’s a big relief for everybody in the entire world, dare to say, and particularly here in Europe, not only for us, but for European Union countries as well and profoundly grateful to see it,” he continued. “Hopefully, we’ll be able to discuss it in the next three months, and I believe that we’ll be able to find a common denominator for all of us, and to do something for the sake and for the benefit for our two sides, but for all the other sides as well.”
