Brussels warned of Trump’s tariff war against the European Union
report Mehr News Agency A European Commission spokesman told Ryanosti on Sunday: The EU has no information about the new US tariffs on European goods.
The EU official continued: If customs tariffs, such as the United States on imported goods from Canada and Mexico, are also implemented against the European Union, Brussels will respond firmly.
US President Donald Trump wrote on his social network called Truth Social this Sunday afternoon: “We pay hundreds of billions of dollars to subsidize Canada.” Why? There is no reason. We don’t need any of the things they have. We have unlimited energy, we have to build our own cars. Without a huge subsidy, Canada does not survive as a country. Therefore, Canada must become our fifty -one state. Much less tax and much better military protection for Canadian people – and without tariffs!
Reuters earlier quoted White House officials as saying: US President Donald Trump signed a 5 % customs tariff on imports from Mexico and Canada.
