И отговорът на ЕС към Тръмп: и ние ще наложим мита като ответна реакция.
The EU will consider imposing its own “safeguard” tariffs on imports of steel and aluminium in response to US president Donald Trump’s decision to levy national security tariffs on imports of the metals from around the world, the EU’s top trade official has warned.
In an interview with the Financial Times, Cecilia Malmstrom, EU trade commissioner, said officials in Brussels would wait for the formal announcement of US tariffs, which Mr Trump said would come next week, before taking any action.
But in a sign of why trade experts fear Mr Trump’s move on tariffs could quickly escalate into a trade war, Ms Malmstrom warned that the EU would have no choice but to respond, echoing warnings from other countries likely to be affected, such as Brazil and Canada.
Jean-Claude Juncker, the European Commission president, also said the EU would respond. “The EU has been a close security ally of the US for decades. We will not sit idly while our industry is hit with unfair measures that put thousands of European jobs at risk,” he said.
