(ANSA) – ROME, APR 7 – The first EU tariffs in response to US President Donald Trump’s 20% tariffs will be launched April 15 and a list of US products id already being drafted, Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani said Monday.
“There will be a list of American products on which to apply duties, effective April 15. It’s an old frozen list, I asked for a postponement but it seems to me that the prevailing position is to start on the 15th”, said Tanai, who is also deputy premier, on the sidelines of a EU Trade Council in Luxembourg.
Asked if whiskey was on the list, Tajani replied: “I asked that it not be on the list, the list will be drawn up between this evening and tomorrow, let’s say that I am moderately optimistic,” adding that the second series of countermeasures should come into force on May 15 but, “between now and the 15th there is still time for negotiations”.
