After Trump had prescribed a 90-day break for the rates imposed on different countries on Wednesday evening, the EU committee responded on Thursday and announced that it also sold the opposite dishes for 90 days.
According to a committee spokesperson, the EU countries support the decision that EU head of the Ursula von der Leyen committee has announced.
De Leyen said the EU wanted to give negotiations a chance. “If the negotiations are not satisfactory, our countermeasures will apply,” the head of the committee continued.
Preparations for further countermeasures are running
Preparations for further countermeasures would take place and the EU would keep all options open. According to a spokesperson for the committee, the decision was taken together with the Member States. These would have given the Commission the green light for their decisions.
Van de Leyen for zero-zer
In a broadcast in the morning, Leyen had stated that the EU continued to work for constructive negotiations with the United States, with the aim of achieving a smooth trade and affordable trade for both parties. Customs rates harm companies and consumers. She has always campaigned for zero-for-zero-custom agreement between the European Union and the United States.
The EU committee, which is responsible for EU’s joint trade policy, suggested this on Monday, US President Donald Trump. He had responded negatively.
Trump initially set up new rates of 20 percent against numerous trading partners, including the EU, after he had previously assured that he did not do this.
