If the administration of US President-elect Donald Trump begins a policy of imposing tariffs on imports from EU countries, the European Union may impose retaliatory restrictive measures. In my meeting with the agency about this issue Bloomberg said European Commission Vice President Stephane Sejournet.
“I am ready to discuss both defensive and offensive actions with my colleagues,” he emphasized.
Sejournet pointed out the possibility of the EU imposing tariffs on imports from the United States and developing additional measures to support trade in Europe.
He added that he still hopes to convince Trump that the trade war will hurt American businesses.
Donald Trump, elected US President in December stated About the intention to impose tariffs on European Union member states if they do not start purchasing American energy resources.
Previously Trump stated About the intention to impose a 25% tax on all goods coming from Mexico and Canada.
