US introduces customs tariffs against 60 countries

New tariffs ranging from 10 to 12.5% will take effect from July 24.

"We had a deal with America, and we stuck to it." The introduction of new US customs tariffs came as an "unpleasant surprise" for the EU, said Kallas.

She pointed out the unjustified nature of the new restrictions. According to her, European labor legislation is better than American: countries in the bloc offer paid leave and very good working conditions.
