a threat to retaliate against trump's proposed import tariffs. the us president has decided to slap at twenty five percent levy on imported steel and ten percent on aluminum it's a move that could put thousands of e.u. jobs in the industry thout risk no surprise then that new officials have called transplant deeply on just the pm commission is calling for collective action in response. we should make it clear european statement against this. announced by the way the states because it's not related to dumping or subsidies cases is really to close a market of united states and this is the ruling of the double euro and therefore we need reaction from. the e.u. also considering imposing tariffs on u.s. steel in our cultural products rhetoric that sparking fears that a trade war could be proving. what is donald trump going to follow through with

a decline of experts but the big reason is why do some countries have not bought u.s. products maybe it's because the u.s. didn't produce what other countries needed so that's really going to change with those tariffs remains to be pretty unlikely looks like if they're looking for a reason why the trade deficit is so big they might have to look at home first thank you very much and scott are there on wall street. it's now going back over the pond rex it was never going to be smooth sailing but now the president of the european council has put out the strongest warning yet against british cherrypicking donald tusk saying brics it will make trade with the u.k. more complicated and costly donald tusk has dismissed the idea of smooth and frictionless trade between the e.u. and the u.k. after brics it the president of the european council was all smiles today as he
