We did everything to avoid the trade war and we will continue to do the same. Europe has extended a hand in a meeting motion but knows how to react to this kind of tariff attack. We will have corresponding trade retaliation if there are such new announcements.
This was stated by the Executive Vice President of the European Commission, Stephan Sejourne, in response to a related question during his visit to the METLEN facilities in Agios Nikolaos, Boeotia.
The EU vice-president expressed his regret for the US decision to impose tariffs on car imports, adding that the negotiation that preceded was not a genuine negotiation. (27/3/2025)
