Europe Will Fight U.S. on Trade if It Has To, Spain PM Warns
Europe is ready to do battle with the U.S. on trade if it has to, Spanish premier Pedro Sanchez said.
“Clearly, we do not want a trade war. But if we have to fight one, we are ready to do so,” he told lawmakers in Madrid.
The government of the euro zone’s fourth-largest economy is in talks with European neighbors on a “proportionate, smart and unified” response to the Trump administration’s threats to slap steep tariffs on European goods imported into the U.S, Sanchez said.
