Tariffs will cause ‘immense difficulty for Europe’ and catastrophe for US citizens, says French prime minister
European leaders have condemned Donald Trump’s tariffs as “fundamentally wrong” and creating an “immense difficulty for Europe”, while appealing for last-ditch negotiations to avert an all-out trade war.
Spain’s prime minister, Pedro Sánchez, lambasted Donald Trump’s “protectionist” tariffs against EU products, saying they run “contrary to the interests of millions of citizens on this side of the Atlantic and in the US, who will unfortunately see their businesses and their purchase power” affected by the measures.
