Trump tariffs live updates: Trump threatens China with new tariffs, vows to veto bill to rein him in

European Union Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said on Monday it is ready to negotiate tariffs with the Trump White House.

“Indeed, we have offered zero-for-zero tariffs for industrial goods, as we have successfully done with many other trading partners, because Europe is always ready for a good deal,” she said.

“But we are also prepared to respond through countermeasures and defend our interests,” von der Leyen said, though she emphasized the EU would “prefer to have a negotiated solution.”
