European Commissioner: We give priority to a negotiating solution with the United States on customs duties
Brussels, July 12/ WAM/ Ursula von der Line, President of the European Commission, confirmed that imposing customs duties by 30 percent by the United States on European Union exports would disrupt the basic supply chains across the Atlantic Ocean at the expense of companies, consumers and patients on its sides, and in the first European reaction to US President Donald Trump’s announcement of customs duties on the European Union.
