At a press conference with Italian President Sergio Mattarella on Wednesday, President Trump said the US will seek a way to avoid imposing tariffs on European imports and that the US has been treated unfairly.
On Monday, the World Trade Organization approved a request from the US to impose tariffs to a value of nearly 7.5 billion USD on EU goods because of EU subsidies to the European aircraft manufacturer Airbus, which has harmed Airbus' s US rival, Boeing. The ruling is considered a breakthrough in a 15-year conflict between the world’s two leading aircraft manufacturers, Airbus and Boeing.
