Alex Jones claims on InfoWars that President Trump’s universal tariffs have dealt a severe blow to the European Union’s globalist agenda, citing EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen’s admission of their economic impact. Collusion Confederation breaks down the video.
The Video’s Core Message
A segment on InfoWars discusses Trump’s universal tariffs on the world, including the EU, and their impact on the global economy. He plays a clip of EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, who describes the tariffs as a “major blow” to the world economy, and uses her statement to argue that Trump’s policies are dismantling the EU’s “New World Order” system. Jones frames this as a revolutionary act against globalist tyranny, positioning Trump as a leader fighting for American sovereignty and global freedom.
Ursula von der Leyen’s Admission and the EU’s Response
Jones begins by playing a clip of Ursula von der Leyen, whom he describes as the “unelected head of the EU commission dictatorship.” In the clip, von der Leyen states that Trump’s universal tariffs on the world, including the EU, are a “major blow to the world economy.” She expresses regret over the decision, warning of “immense consequences” as the global economy will “massively suffer,” uncertainty will spiral, and protectionism will rise. She highlights the impact on vulnerable countries facing the highest US tariffs, noting it’s the “opposite of what we wanted to achieve.” Von der Leyen adds that the tariffs will hurt consumers globally by increasing the costs of doing business with the US, describing the situation as having “no order in the disorder.” She confirms the EU is preparing countermeasures, starting with a package in response to tariffs on steel, and expresses disappointment in the US, calling it “our oldest ally.”
This aligns with a Euronews article from April 3, 2025, where von der Leyen similarly criticized Trump’s 20% tariff on the EU, warning of dire consequences for millions, especially the most vulnerable, as costs for groceries, transport, and medicines rise (Major economic blow: EU and world leaders react to Trump’s tariffs). The EU’s preparation of countermeasures also echoes a European Commission response to earlier US steel and aluminum tariffs, as noted in an ec.europa.eu document (EU countermeasures on US steel and aluminium tariffs explained).
Jones’ Interpretation: A Revolution Against Globalism
Jones interprets von der Leyen’s statement as an admission that Trump’s tariffs have unraveled the EU’s economic plans, which he calls the “global parasitic new economy.” He claims the tariffs are the “exact opposite” of the EU’s goals, leaving them in disarray with “no more order.” Jones frames this as a victory for Trump, whom he portrays as a revolutionary fighting the globalist power structure. He asserts that Trump is “fighting the power” to deliver success to Americans and the world, aiming to stop World War III. Jones describes himself and his audience as “rebels” and “revolutionaries” ushering in a “new renaissance.”
He outlines three main goals of Trump’s tariffs, citing an InfoWars article: strengthening US supply chain sovereignty, promoting countries to renegotiate bilateral ties with the US in exchange for reduced tariffs, and reshaping the emerging world order by accelerating the end of the current global economic system. Jones argues this economic and cultural war against globalists will involve short-term pain but is necessary for a revolution toward freedom.
Accusations Against the EU and Globalists
Jones accuses the EU of being a tyrannical entity, comparing von der Leyen to “Hitler 2.0” despite her non-threatening appearance in a pink outfit. He claims the EU is arresting political opposition, canceling elections, suing US companies, censoring America, and funding disinformation and propaganda. He alleges the EU is brainwashing children into a cult involving castration and mutilation, opening borders for “replacement migration,” and enforcing tyrannical policies like COVID lockdowns, censorship, and prison sentences for speech—comparing their actions to communist China. Jones also accuses the EU of rampant pedophilia and “total evil.”
He ties these actions to broader globalist goals, claiming they want people to “eat bugs,” own nothing, and live under a high-tech technocratic feudalism where property ownership is eliminated. Jones references the EU’s compliance with the US in blowing up the Nord Stream pipelines, which supplied 44% of their natural gas, leading to doubled energy prices and deaths from freezing in Germany. This aligns with a Reuters article detailing the 2022 Nord Stream explosions, which hastened Europe’s shift to other energy suppliers after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine (Nord Stream: What’s known about the mystery pipeline explosions?).
Jones further claims the EU has imposed massive tariffs on the US while the US has none on them, and that Europe is de-industrializing under globalist orders—cutting energy, fertilizer production, and food production (e.g., reducing cows by 80% in the Netherlands by 2030, already down 30%, and similar policies in Ireland and the UK). He cites Sri Lanka’s collapse as a precedent and quotes John Kerry saying, “We got to cut food production or people will starve,” framing it as illogical globalist policy.
Retaliation, Not Aggression
Jones argues that Trump’s tariffs are not an attack but a retaliation against decades of economic exploitation by the EU and other countries like Japan, which he claims imposes a 700% tariff on US rice. He uses analogies to emphasize this point: if someone beats up your car and you punch them, you’re retaliating, not attacking. He plays a clip from The Big Lebowski where Walter Sobchak destroys a car, using it to illustrate Europe’s actions against the US and America’s justified response through tariffs. Jones cites the Treasury Secretary echoing Trump’s advice to countries: “Do not retaliate,” warning of escalation if they do, and notes that EU countries rely on the US market more than the US relies on them (90% vs. 10%).
Why It Matters
The video presents Jones’ view that Trump’s tariffs are a revolutionary act dismantling the EU’s globalist New World Order, as admitted by von der Leyen. He frames this as a fight for American sovereignty and global freedom against a tyrannical EU and globalist agenda, urging viewers to support Trump’s economic war despite short-term challenges.
Centrist Call for Clarity
Collusion Confederation seeks facts, not sides. Alex Jones claims Trump’s tariffs have devastated the EU’s New World Order, as von der Leyen admits their economic impact, framing it as a revolutionary retaliation against globalist tyranny.
