it's not as easy as speaking for your one single government but i was at this briefing with cecilia mom sherman i didn't get the sense that she was being complacent at all she said unequivocally that the u.s. will not get its wish to have negotiations treatment though she actions on other sectors as long as these import tariffs remain in place and this morning federico mo greeny said you know the e.u. is a project of peace and that includes in trade but at the same time the e.u. must defend its interests nobody here in brussels is talking about lying down and taking this silently the gap between what's happening today which is filing this w t o case against the u.s. tariffs accusing it of not being sincere about this being taken in national security interests and when the import tariffs will be placed on u.s. products is simply because there's a series of steps that need to be taken you know with all the e.u. bureaucracy and member states will get the chance to help decide which products will get either a twenty five percent or a fifty percent tariff so there's going to be a little bit of a gap
