France says EU has the tools to hit back at Trump over tariffs, FT reports

BRUSSELS: Brussels has the tools to hit back at the United States for its latest round of tariffs, France’s trade minister Nicolas Forissier told the Financial Times on Saturday. Paris was in talks with EU counterparts and the European Commission over US President Donald ⁠Trump’s decision to ⁠impose a flat global tariff of 10 percent after the US Supreme Court ruled that many of the existing tariffs he had levied on trading partners were illegal, ⁠Forissier said. “Should it become necessary, the EU has the appropriate instruments at its disposal,” Forissier told the FT.
