Europe is prepared to respond "within an hour" if the United States levies tariffs against the European Union, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said in a pre-election debate with his conservative challenger Friedrich Merz, APA reports citing Reuters.
Asked by a moderator if the EU had a "list of cruelties" with which to respond if the U.S. imposed tariffs, Scholz, well behind Merz in the polls, said: "Yes, to phrase it in the most cautious diplomatic way. We as the European Union can act within an hour."
