"Europe is always ready for a good deal, so we keep it on the table".The offer was submitted after the gathering of EU trade ministers in Luxembourg.
According to Reuters, it was established that the block would prioritise negotiations with Washington alternatively of engaging in a trade war.The block has another measures in place if the parties do not scope an agreement, said the head of the European Commission, without developing the subject."We are besides ready to respond by means of countermeasures and to defend our interests," she said, adding that the EU is peculiarly trying to defend "from indirect effects by redirecting trade".Her words were repeated by EU Commissioner for Trade and economical Security, Maros Sefcovic, who stated on X that the block is "fully ready for negotiations whenever our US partners are ready", but is besides continuing to work on remedies.The Trump administration has previously introduced 25% of import duties on steel and aluminium from the EU.The American president justified this policy by saying that it is directed towards countries that themselves impose advanced barriers on goods from the US.Last week, the US introduced an import taxation ranging from 10% to 50% on more than 200 countries, which they believe apply unfair trade practices.On Monday, the U.S. president stated on social media that customs are working and allegedly bring crucial economical benefits to the US.Later that day Trump accused the EU of treating the US "bad", adding that Brussels is ready to dispose of the duties now.The president stated that the concessions offered by the block were not sufficient.‘These are not just duties, they are not monetary duties’ — said Trump.
EU authorities “They introduce rules and regulations that are designed for only 1 reason – you cannot sale your products in these countries and we will not let that to happen” He said.
