On the one hand, the European Union does not want to increase the trade war. European officials called tariffs “Economically opposite“The warning that Tat-Tat Tat tariff struggle for Tat-Tat is involved.
“Tariffs are taxes”, “Ursula Von Der Leyen, President of the European Commission, Block Executive Lol, said television Wednesday. “Things are in danger, prices, no one needs.”
However, the Trump leadership does not want to negotiate European politicians who push European politicians to take a more aggressive position.
“I have traveled to the United States last month; I was looking for a constructive dialogue to prevent unnecessary pain,” Maros Sefjovic, the best trading officials of the European Commission, said it was warned about a news this week. “In the end, it can't take a hand, as stated.

Kaja Kallas, the Secretary General of the Bloc, was only in the late February, but Mr. Rubio had to meet the American United States Marko Rubio Canceled this meeting.
And diplomats from the European Union and Member States have struggled to determine who will talk to the lack of clarification of how the decisions made.
“I think that the daisi is at a level in the face of the goals.”
