Withdrawing EU tariff retaliation plan a 'mistake': former EU Trade Commissioner

World Business Report

Available for over a year

European exports to the U.S. are about to face a steep 15% tariff—while American goods heading to Europe will face a zero tariff rate. Is this a one-sided deal? We speak to former EU Trade Commissioner, Cecilia Malmstrom. We also get perspectives from both sides of the Atlantic: an Irish pub landlord in Chicago who imports alcohol, and the CEO of the Distilled Spirits Council of the United States, who’s focused on exports. Plus, Sam Fenwick explores the global surge in popularity for women’s football and what it means for the future of the sport.
