A trade deal between the European Union and the US must be based on “mutual respect, and not threats,” the EU’s trade chief said, after President Donald Trump threatened the bloc with a 50% tariff, APA reports citing CNN.
“The EU’s fully engaged, committed to securing a deal that works for both,” Maroš Šefčovič wrote in a post on X yesterday after a call with US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, adding that the European Commission “remains ready to work in good faith.”
However, he said, EU-US trade “must be guided by mutual respect, not threats.”
“We stand ready to defend our interests,” Šefčovič added.
