I am ready to respond to new US tariffs but have an open conversation / day

« I deeply regret such a choice, » Ley said. « There seems to be no order in disorder. There is no clear path through the complexity and the chaos that is created because all the US trading partners are affected. »

She added that I was ready to react.

« We are now preparing for further countermeasures to protect our interests and our companies if the negotiations fail, » Leyan said.

Trump announced the determination of new customs tariffs on Wednesday from abroad, including major US trading partners for China and the EU.

The EU was subject to 20% tariffs, and Trump had previously set tariffs for steel and aluminum imports, as well as cars and car parts.

However, the block has firmly insisted on the trade problems through dialogue, and Leis once again allowed this opportunity.

« There is an alternative way. It’s not too late to deal with the concerns through the negotiations, » she said.

Leyan said new tariffs would harm consumers around the world.

« It will be felt immediately. Millions of people will have to face higher food bills. More expensive will pay for medication and transport. Inflation will increase, » she warned.

There are also concerns in Europe that Trump’s raised customs tariffs will cause cheap goods from other countries, especially China.

Leyan said that I would closely follow the indirect impact of these tariffs and promised to protect the continent industry.

« Europe will support those that it will directly affect, » Leyan said.
