French and EU officials prepare for possible levies on European products following Trump's tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and China. French Industry Minister Marc Ferracci calls for a strong response, emphasizing the need for a "biting" reaction targeting key American products. Ferracci urges the EU not to be naive and suggests enacting a "Buy European Act" to protect the continent's industry. On the other hand, German Finance Minister Jorg Kukies advises staying calm to navigate the negotiations with the U.S., while Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani expresses concerns about a tariff war. The European Commission vows a firm response if the U.S. expands its tariffs to the EU, citing potential economic disruption and inflation. As EU officials anticipate possible U.S. tariffs, they stand ready to engage in negotiations once Trump appointees are confirmed. With the EU's trade relationship with the U.S. at stake, the looming question remains: Should the EU retaliate against Trump's tariffs?
