Internet reported that on Monday, EU ministers generally agreed that the EU should give priority to negotiating Trump to remove tariffs rather than retaliating, although the EU is preparing the first set of targeted countermeasures. Ministers responsible for trade met in Luxembourg to discuss the EU's response, with many saying the EU's top priority is to start negotiations with the United States to avoid a full-blown trade war. "We need to remain calm and respond in a way that defuses the situation. The stock market now shows what will happen if we upgrade immediately. But if necessary, we will be prepared to take countermeasures to bring the Americans to the negotiating table,"said Dutch Trade Minister Reinette Klever. However, negotiations with Washington have so far been difficult.
