The EU must not waver in its response to the imposition this week of blanket US tariffs of 20% and should inflict as much damage as possible on the US, a former head of the European Commission's trade department has told Euronews.
“We need to take retaliatory measures that are proportionate to the damage caused by the US and inflict the maximum possible economic and political damage on the US,” said Jean-Luc Demarty, director-general of the Commission's DG Trade between 2011 and 2019.
