The EU Commission has expressed criticism of US President Donald Trump’s announcement to introduce import tariffs of 25 percent on steel and aluminum. Trump announced this on Sunday, but there were no further details before the editorial deadline on Monday evening. The Commission had also not yet received any official notification that additional tariffs had been imposed on EU goods. It thus did not wish to discuss a possible response.
