The European Union is bracing for a trade conflict with the United States following President Trump's new tariffs. French government spokeswoman Sophie Primas expressed concern over the negative impact on sectors like wine and spirits. The EU plans a multi-phase strategy, initially addressing aluminium and steel, eventually expanding to all products and services, particularly targeting un-taxed online services. President Macron is meeting with affected sectors to strategize support, highlighting a significant tension between imperialist rhetoric from Trump and the EU's readiness for response.
"We have a whole range of tools and we are ready for this trade war. Then we will look at how we can support our production industries."
"Trump thinks he is the master of the world. It is an imperialist stance that we had somewhat forgotten about but which is returning with great force and great determination."
