EU retaliates in US trade war, despite Biden election
By EUobserver
EU states have imposed €3.4bn of tariffs on US agricultural and industrial products, as of Tuesday, in retaliation against US tariffs imposed a year ago on European whisky and other imports in a dispute about aviation industry subsidies. "This step was logical," German economy ministry Peter Altmaier said. "They should cut him some slack," Peter Chase, from the German Marshall Fund think-tank, told AP, referring to US president-elect Joe Biden.
