European officials: EU should formulate countermeasures as soon as possible on Monday

According to BlockBeats, on July 13th, Bernd Lange, Chairman of the European Parliament's Trade Committee, stated that the EU should formulate countermeasures as soon as possible on Monday. He said, "Trump's tariffs on the European Union are a slap in the face for negotiations. This is not the way to deal with an important trading partner Earlier, European Commission President von der Leyen issued a statement, and the EU took note of the letter from President Trump of the United States, which outlined the revised tariff rate and the new timetable. The statement states that imposing a 30% tariff on EU exports by the United States will disrupt important supply chains on both sides of the Atlantic and harm the interests of businesses, consumers, and patients on both sides. On a global scale, few economies can match the openness and adherence to fair trade rules of the European Union. The EU has always been committed to resolving its differences with the United States through negotiations. The EU is still prepared to continue working towards reaching an agreement before August 1st.
