On April 3, 2025, Belgian Prime Minister Bart De Wever reportedly responded to a provocative statement or policy from U.S.
President Donald Trump with the quip, “Answering stupidity with stupidity is not wise.”
This exchange likely stems from Trump’s announcement of sweeping tariffs on April 2, 2025, imposing a 10% minimum tariff on most U.S.
imports and a steeper 20% rate on European Union goods, escalating a global trade war.
De Wever’s comment, delivered during a parliamentary session in Brussels, reflects Belgium’s frustration with Trump’s economic aggression and aligns with Europe’s broader pushback against U.S. unilateralism.
De Wever, a Flemish nationalist and leader of the New Flemish Alliance (N-VA), has been Belgium’s Prime Minister since late 2024, navigating a fragile coalition government amid economic challenges and EU-U.S.
tensions. Trump, in his second term, has doubled down on “America First” policies, including territorial claims (e.g., Greenland, Panama) and trade barriers, prompting sharp reactions from allies like Belgium, a key EU and NATO member.
