EU says to respond if US imposes punitive #steel measures
The European Union will respond if the United States imposes punitive tariffs on steel, European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker said on Friday(7 July) at the G20 summit in Hamburg, writes Noah Barkin.
"Should the US introduce tariffs on European steel imports, Europe is ready to react immediately and adequately," Juncker told reporters.
In a dig at US President Donald Trump, he said that a new EU-Japan trade deal signed on Thursday showed that Europeans were not putting up "protectionist walls".
