The European Union is facing a divided response to US President Trump’s tariff regime, which has brought the world to the brink of a trade war. French Minister Ferracci argued that a visit from Italian Prime Minister Meloni to the US could play into Trump’s strategy.
The EU has imposed retaliatory tariffs on nearly €21 billion of US products, while Trump has announced a temporary pause in tariffs above 10 percent for most US trading partners, amidst a complex web of trade tensions.
