BERLIN:  Europe wants to cooperate with the United States but the European Union is ready to react as an integral whole to US duties, Acting German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said at the opening of the Hanover industrial trade fair.

Trade wars do harm to all the parties, Scholz noted. Europe "is not naive but it is not weak," he continued. "So I say to the United States: Europe's goal remains cooperation. But if the US leaves us no choice, such as with the tariffs on steel and aluminum, we as the EU will react as one," he said, cited by Reuters.
