EU Response to US Trade Threats
The European Commission has avoided directly responding to US President Donald Trump's threats to impose higher tariffs on Spain due to differences over defense spending.
Trade policy falls within the exclusive competence of the European Commission, which acts on behalf of all Member States, so it will respond appropriately, as we always do, to any measures taken against one or more of our Member States.
According to Trade Spokesperson Olof Gill, Brussels has the power to retaliate against any trade action taken by a third country against an EU member state.
- Brussels will respond to any trade action against an EU country.
- Trump has threatened Spain with higher tariffs over defense spending differences.
