Czech finance minister sees impact of U.S. tariffs through euro zone, not directly

PRAGUE, April 9 (Reuters) - The direct impact of U.S. import tariffs on the Czech Republic will be small, given that the United States accounts for about 2.9% of Czech exports, and around 4% including re-exports, Czech Finance Minister Zbynek Stanjura said on Wednesday.

Stanjura told a news conference shown live on television that a potential larger impact would come through a worsening economic situation in the euro zone, where some countries have larger exposure and where Czech companies ship most of their exports.
