According to the English section of webangah News Agency, citing Mehr News Agency and Al Mayadeen, Italy’s Foreign Minister Antonio tajani revealed that the EU is preparing a tariff list targeting $21 billion worth of American goods should talks fail.
Ursula von der Leyen, president of the European Commission, also responded to former President Donald Trump’s tariff threats by warning: “We will take all necessary measures to protect the interests of the European Union, including proportionate countermeasures if required.”
