The president of the United States, Donald Trump, announced that 25% tariffs have already entered into force to Mexico and Canada and 10% to China, although from the European Commission they warned the Republican president that this measure will be counterproductive and will cause inflation.
A spokesman of the agency remarked, in dialogue with the French media Euronews, the position of the commission regarding Trump’s measure: “The European Union regrets the decision of The United States to impose tariffs on Canada, Mexico and China, “he said.
