Taoiseach urges caution in EU response to Trump tariff threat Taoiseach Micheal Martin has warned against any premature response to Donald Trump’s threat to impose tariffs on EU exports to the United States.
Asked how the EU should respond to Mr Trump’s tariff threat, the Taoiseach said: “The European Union has to act as one.
The US president has announced he will impose 25% trade taxes on goods coming from America’s nearest neighbours and largest trade partners – Canada and Mexico – as well as a 10% levy on Chinese goods.
Speaking ahead a meeting of European leaders in Brussels, Mr Martin said the European response had to be united.
Mr Martin said the US and EU had the biggest economic relationship in the world.
