France urges EU to respond if US enforces trade tariffs - Foreign Minister

Moscow, Feb 10 (UNI) France has urged the European Commission to take immediate retaliatory measures if US President Donald Trump imposes trade tariffs on goods from the EU, French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot said on Monday.
"Of course, this is not a surprise. Trump did this in 2018, and we responded then. This time, we will respond again," Barrot said in response to a question from the TF1 channel about the measures Europe would take in response to the US increasing tariffs on steel and aluminum to 25%.
When asked whether the list of US goods subject to increased import duties would be similar to the previous one, which included products such as Harley-Davidson motorcycles, bourbon, jeans, orange juice, and corn from the US, the top French diplomat responded, This is for the European Commission to determine."
