According to Golden Finance, the European Commission released a message saying that on the same day, European Commission President von der Leyen had a phone call with British Prime Minister Stamer and discussed trade issues. During the call, von der Leyen pointed out that the tariff measures announced by the Trump administration on April 2 will cause damage to all countries through direct and indirect means, including affecting the poorest countries in the world. Von der Leyen said the tariff measures marked a major turning point in U.S. policy. She said that although the EU is still committed to negotiating with the United States, if necessary, the EU is ready to defend its own interests through corresponding countermeasures. (CCTV News)
