German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has said that the EU is strong enough to react to any tariffs imposed by the US.
The reaction from Scholz, who is the chancellor of Europe's largest economy, came after US President Donald Trump announced tariffs on the EU.
"We will have intensive discussions about our cooperation with the US," Scholz told reporters, foreign media report.
"Both the US and Europe benefit from trade in goods and services," he further said, writes A2 CNN.
"If trade policies make this more difficult, it will be bad for the US and Europe. What is clear is that as a strong economic area, we can shape our own policies and respond to US tariffs with our own tariffs. This is something we must and will do," Scholz added.
But he added that "the goal should be to proceed in a way that ultimately leads to cooperation." (A2 Televizion)
