EU Leaders Criticize US Tariffs, Explore Countermeasures

News summary

Following the US's imposition of a 20% tariff on EU imports, European leaders, including French President Emmanuel Macron, have criticized the move, labeling it as 'brutal and unfounded.' The European Union is exploring various countermeasures, such as taxation and regulation of American tech firms, as stated by French Finance Minister Eric Lombard. Irish Taoiseach Micheál Martin suggests focusing on long-term economic restructuring, particularly in renewable energy investment, instead of short-term supports. Regional business leaders are worried about the impact on local industries like agri-food and manufacturing. EU Trade Commissioner Maroš Šefčovič plans to engage in talks with US counterparts to seek a resolution through dialogue. The EU aims for a robust yet proportionate response while ensuring European interests are not harmed.
