EU’s Sejourne: hopes bourbon will be spared in response to Trump tariffs
PARIS, April 7 (Reuters) - European Commissioner for Industrial Strategy Stephane Sejourne said the European Union's response to U.S. tariffs should be "proportionate" and hoped bourbon will be dropped from a list of U.S. imports that could be slapped with additional tariffs.
Sejourne also told France Inter radio on Monday that the EU had several cards up its sleeve to put pressure on America, including "withdrawing U.S. companies from our European public markets."
European Union countries will seek to present a united front in the coming days against U.S. President Donald Trump's tariffs, likely approving a first set of targeted countermeasures on up to $28 billion of U.S. imports.
The 27-nation bloc faces 25% import tariffs on steel and aluminium and cars and "reciprocal" tariffs of 20% from Wednesday for almost all other goods.
