Stockholm – Following the recent tariff threats from US President Donald Trump, Sweden’s Minister for Foreign Trade, Benjamin Dousa, has assured that Europe will respond decisively.
“Europe will not yield,” Dousa stated in a written statement to TT.
“We seek to increase trade with the USA, not decrease it. However, if the USA opts against serious negotiations and instead chooses to escalate tensions, they will encounter a firm response from us,” he emphasized.
He criticized the USA for heightening tensions while the EU is eager to engage in meaningful dialogue and pledged that the Swedish government will work tirelessly to mitigate the effects of the trade conflict on Swedish jobs and the economy.
Trump’s announcement on Friday included a warning of imposing 50 percent tariffs on EU goods starting June 1, claiming that discussions with the union are “going nowhere.”
