The future of free trade

Ann Linde's demands on the EU:
Donald Trump's proposed new tariffs on steel and aluminum would hit Sweden hard. Trade Minister Ann Linde (S) is therefore calling for countermeasures from the EU.

"We in the EU cannot passively watch as the US introduces such heavy tariffs. According to the WTO rules, they have the right to take countermeasures and that is what we have to discuss within the EU, what type of countermeasures we should take," Linde tells TT.
