The article discusses concerns raised by Irish ministers regarding potential US tariffs, particularly on pharmaceutical exports, amid talks with EU leaders. Irish officials, including Taoiseach, highlighted the critical impact these tariffs could have on competitiveness and employment, with estimates suggesting a loss of 50,000 to 80,000 jobs if tariffs are implemented. European Commission President von der Leyen described the tariffs as detrimental to both sides and emphasized the EU's commitment to protecting its interests while seeking negotiated solutions amidst looming trade tensions.
"As I have said before, tariffs are taxes - bad for businesses, worse for consumers equally in the US and the European Union."
