Days after US President Donald Trump announced tariffs on trading partners, tech entrepreneur Elon Musk stated on Saturday that he hoped to see full freedom of trade between the United States and Europe in the future.

During a video-link interview with Matteo Salvini, Italy’s deputy prime minister and the leader of the far-right League party, Musk said, “At the end of the day, I hope it’s agreed that both Europe and the United States should move ideally, in my view, to a zero-tariff situation, effectively creating a free-trade zone between Europe and North America", as reported by CNN.

"If people wish to work in Europe or wish to work in North America, they should be allowed to do so in my view," Musk said, adding that this "has certainly been my advice to the president."
