EU to wield ‘every tool’ against US tariffs – trade chief

Washington’s levies affect around 70% of the bloc’s total exports, according to Commissioner Maros Sefcovic

The EU is ready to deploy “every tool” to shield its market from the impact of US President Donald Trump’s new tariffs if negotiations fail, Trade Commissioner Maros Sefcovic has said.

Trump announced last week that Washington would impose levies ranging from 10% to 50% on imports from countries it accuses of unfair trade practices.
