Pascal Lamy, the former chief of staff to European Commission President Jacques Delors and former two-term head of the World Trade Organization, told Euronews how the EU should deal with Donald Trump if the American president follows up on threats to impose tariffs.
US President Donald Trump should realise that the EU is a big market and could retaliate in a tariff war, harming US exporters, Pascal Lamy told Euronews' Shona Murray in an exclusive interview Radio Schuman features today.
The former European Commissioner for Trade and twice Director-General of the World Trade Organization (WTO), downplayed the importance of Trump’s “show” on tariffs, which the American president uses as a “Swiss knife that will allow him to do anything he wants to do".
Radio Schuman also reports on today's General Affairs Council meeting in Brussels and on those European regions where there are greater numbers of women working in the high-tech sector.
Radio Schuman is hosted and produced by Maïa de la Baume, with journalist and production assistant Eleonora Vasques, audio editing by David Brodheim. Music by Alexandre Jas.
