Brussels, 3 July (LaPresse) – ‘Negotiations on tariffs with the United States are ongoing. As we speak, Commissioner Sefcovic is in Washington today. I just want to say that we are ready for an agreement. We want a negotiated solution, but you all know that, at the same time, we are preparing for the possibility that a satisfactory agreement will not be reached.’ This was stated by European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen at a press conference in Aarhus, Denmark, with Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, at the start of the Danish Presidency of the EU Council. ‘That is why we have consulted a list of rebalancing measures and will defend European interests if necessary. If necessary. In other words, all instruments are on the table,’ she emphasised.
