Spain's PM Calls on US to Reconsider Tariff Policies
MADRID (Reuters) -Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez on Friday urged the United States to reconsider new tariffs on goods from Europe and open a dialogue with the European Commission to "stop this nonsense".
President Donald Trump said on Wednesday the United States will charge a 25% import tariff on all cars.
On Thursday, the European Commission said the European Union was preparing a "robust, calibrated" response.
"Today, from here, I'd like to make a call again to the U.S. administration to reconsider and open dialogue with the European Commission and stop this nonsense," Sanchez said in a speech in Madrid.
