Nobody is welcoming tariffs ‘with open arms’, says Irish premier

Micheal Martin said the deal ‘avoids further escalation’ (PA) - (PA Wire)

Ireland’s premier has said no one is welcoming a baseline tariff of 15% “with open arms” but the EU-US agreement avoids a “ruinous” trade war.

Taoiseach Micheal Martin also said the deal offered “overall ceilings” on tariff rates and would mean they are not “stacked” upon another.
