Taoiseach Micheál Martin criticized the U.S. decision to impose 20% tariffs on EU imports, stating there is no justification for such measures. He emphasized the importance of the integrated relationship between the EU and the US, highlighting that tariffs are detrimental to both economies. He noted that tariffs drive inflation and threaten jobs on both sides of the Atlantic. Martin expressed Ireland's commitment to engaging with the EU to formulate a measured response, advocating for dialogue over confrontation to protect trade interests and promote free trade policies.
There is no justification for 20% tariffs on Ireland and the EU on imports to the US, according to Taoiseach Micheál Martin.
The EU will weather this storm, and disrupting the deeply integrated relationship between the EU and the US benefits no one.
