EU agrees €93bn worth of counter tariffs against the US if trade talks fail
Tánaiste and foreign affairs minister Simon Harris said the Government was continuing to back EU Trade Commissioner Maroš Šefčovič in his negotiations with the US.
EU member states have agreed to introduce €93bn worth of counter tariffs against the US, if the two sides fail to reach a deal by August 1.
The counter-tariff measures are set to come into effect on August 7, if a deal is not reached.
