EU calls Trump's 30% tariff 'absolutely unacceptable,' but will work towards deal
European Union member states find US President Donald Trump's 30% tariff threat "absolutely unacceptable," Danish Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen said on Monday, July 14, during a joint press conference with EU's Trade Chief Maros Sefcovic in Brussels.
Sefcovic said the EU would need to go for countermeasures if the trade negotiations with the US fail, after a meeting with EU ministers in Brussels.
He added he believes there is "still a potential to continue the negotiations" and that any deal has to be accepted by EU members and the European Parliament.
He also said he plans to confer with his US counterparts later on Monday to discuss the state of play.
