EU to Trump Tariff Threat: ‘We Stand Ready’

The European Union posted a message aimed squarely at President Donald Trump. “We stand ready to defend our interests.”

The EU was responding to Trump’s post Friday that threatened the trade association of European nations with new tariffs. He threatened to hit the EU with 50% trade fees.

EU Trade Commissioner Maros Sefcovic posted that the EU is not backing away from negotiations, “@EU_Commission remains ready to work in good faith.”
