Question to the Department for International Trade:
To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, what assessment he has made of the potential risk of retaliatory tariffs being imposed on the US causing a trade war; and what discussions he has had with the European Commission on that matter.
This question was answered on 27th March 2018
My Rt Hon. Friend, the Secretary of State for International Trade, has been in close contact with Commissioner Malmström and has had a range of discussions. It is right that this situation is dealt with in a measured way, to temper the risk of escalation. We must ensure that we work within the boundaries of the rules-based international trading system.
