We also have to show our teeth, because this is the only language that the Trump administration understands in principle, the MEP said. At the same time, Cavazzini pointed out that the European Commission is ready to negotiate.

Recall that in February the American leader introduced tariffs of 25% on all steel and aluminum imports into the United States.

Trump then threatened the European Union (EU) that the United States could impose tariffs of 200% on alcohol imports from Europe, including wine.

For its part, the EU postponed tariffs on US products, including bourbon whiskey and motorcycles, until mid-April to avoid a trade war, EU Trade Commissioner Maroš Šefčovič said.
