Slovak econ min: Tariffs on European cars to US 'unfortunate'

"It would be unfortunate if the USA introduced tariffs on cars imported from the European Union, said Economy Minister Peter Ziga after Wednesday's government meeting in response to statements by US President Donald Trump, who indicated that the USA will introduce 25-percent tariffs on such vehicles. "If that happens, it won't be good news for world trade, not only for European trade but also for American trade because I expect the EU to engage in retaliatory measures," said Ziga.
