Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez calls tariffs ‘return to 19th-century protectionism’ as EU’s Maroš Šefčovič says he will speak to US counterparts
French prime minister François Bayrou told reporters that Donald Trump’s tariffs marked “a catastrophe” for the global economy, and posed “an immense difficulty” for Europe.
