Macron: EU Will Defy Trump’s Tariff Threats
Following Donald Trump’s threat to impose tariffs on EU goods, EU leaders convened to discuss a response. While emphasizing the need for dialogue and cooperation, leaders like Emmanuel Macron asserted that the EU would defend its interests with a firm response if necessary. A united front was stressed, with plans for targeted retaliatory measures if tariffs are imposed, aiming to impact the American economy. The goal, however, remains to avoid a trade war, recognizing the mutual benefits of EU-US cooperation.
