1 hour ago EU scrambles to respond to US tariff threat as Trump promises ‘major statement’ on Russia – Europe live

EU ministers meet for urgent talks after US president threatens 30% tariffs on blocA show of unity is expected publicly with German chancellor Friedrich Merz saying he will work “intensively” with Emmanuel Macron, Ursula von der Leyen and Trump to try and rescue the agreement in principle that was put on Trump’s desk last week involving tariffs of 10%.
