In Canada, Trump’s step was called a “direct attack”, the European Commission said they were ready for the action in response.
European Commission president Ursula Von der Lyan and Canadian prime minister Mark Carney responded to the decision of US President Donald Trump to introduce a 25 percent duty to import cars. They promise to protect their workers and businesses.
In particular, Von Der Lyan said he would regret a lot about a United States decision. He noted that it would hit consumers both in the USA and the European Union, Politico reports.
At the same time, Von der Lyan noted that the EU was ready for the action in response.
“The EU will continue to seek decisions through negotiations, protecting economic interests. As a huge trading force and a strong community from 27 member countries, we will defend our employees, businesses and consumers throughout the European Union,” Eurociceur said.
Meanwhile, Canadian prime minister Mark Karny called Trump’s “direct attack” step and told reporters that on Thursday he gathered a Cabinet meeting of ministers at a high level to decide the answer, Reuters reported.
“We protect our employees, we protect our companies, we protect our country, and we protect it together,” he said.
Remember that on Wednesday Trump announced a 25% fee for cars not made in the United States.
Previously, Donald Trump said US authorities would introduce a fee of 25% from those from those countries to buy oil or gas from Venezuela on April 2. At the same time, he said he could release some countries from duties if he considered it a must.
