AMSTERDAM (Reuters) -The U.S. announcement it will impose a 30% tariff on EU goods from August 1st is “concerning” and not the way forward, Dutch Prime Minister Dick Schoof said on social media platform X on Saturday.
“The European Commission can count on our full support. As the EU we must remain united and resolute in pursuing an outcome with the United States that is mutually beneficial,” he said.
Dutch State Secretary for Foreign Trade, Hanneke Boerma, in a post on X, said: “Businesses on both sides of the ocean need predictability and lower, not higher, tariffs”.
