Barrot told TF1 television that European countries should not hesitate to defend their interests in the face of potential U.S. tariff threats adding that starting a commercial war is in no one’s interests.
“ (Imposing tariffs) is already what Donald Trump did in 2018, and we responded. We will again respond,” said Barrot.
Trump told reporters on Sunday that he will announce new 25-per cent tariffs on all steel and aluminium imports into the United States, with the official statement to be made.
Trump also said he would announce “reciprocal tariffs” as soon as Tuesday to align with those of its trading partners. (Xinhua/NAN)
