European Commission Executive Vice-President for Prosperity and Industrial Strategy Stephane Sejourne warned on Monday that the European Union could use some special economic measures to respond to 20% tariffs imposed by the new US administration.
"We could decide to withdraw all American companies from European public procurement markets. It's an economic bazooka, but it's one of the topics on the table," Sejourne told France Inter radio, adding that these instruments were originally created "against the Chinese."
Furthermore, the official called for unity in the European Union, as trade ministers are meeting in Luxembourg to pave the way for a response to US levies.
