German finance minister Lars Klingbeil has warned that the EU stands ready to impose retaliatory measures against US goods if the two parties fail to reach a “fair” deal to resolve their trade dispute. Klingbeil told German MPs on Tuesday:

Trump said the United States would impose tariffs of 25% on goods from Tunisia, Malaysia and Kazakhstan, with levies of 30% on South Africa, Bosnia and Herzegovina, climbing to 32% on Indonesia, 35% on Serbia and Bangladesh, 36% on Cambodia and Thailand; and 40% on Laos and Myanmar. A deal with India was close, Trump added.
