Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese: Login or signup to continue reading "It is the American people who will pay the biggest price for these unjustified tariffs.

" Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni: "We will do everything we can to work towards an agreement with the United States, with the goal of avoiding a trade war that would inevitably weaken the West in favour of other global players." UK Business Secretary Jonathan Reynolds: "Nobody wants a trade war and our intention remains to secure a deal. But nothing is off the table and the government will do everything necessary to defend the UK's national interest.
" Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney: ""(Trump) has preserved a number of important elements of our relationship ...
but the fentanyl tariffs still remain in place, as do the tariffs for steel and aluminum. We are going to fight these tariffs with countermeasures, we are going to protect our workers, and we are going to build the strongest economy in the G7." Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson: "We don't want growing trade barriers.
We don't want a trade war ...
We want to find our way back to a path of trade and co-operation together with the US, so that people in our countries can enjoy a better life." Statement from the Brazilian government: "The Brazilian government is evaluating all possible actions to ensure reciprocity in bilateral trade, including resorting to the World Trade Organisation, in defence of legitimate national interests." Swiss President Karin Keller-Sutter: "(The Federal Council) will quickly determine the next steps.
The country's long-term economic interests are paramount. Adherence to international law and free trade remain core values." Irish Prime Minister Micheal Martin: "The decision by the US tonight to impose 20 per cent tariffs on imports from across the European Union is deeply regrettable.
I strongly believe that tariffs benefit no one. My priority, and that of the government, is to protect Irish jobs and the Irish economy." Manfred Weber, president of the EPP (the European Parliament's largest party): "To our American friends, today isn't liberation day - it's resentment day.
Donald Trump's tariffs don't defend fair trade; they attack it out of fear and hurt both sides of the Atlantic. Europe stands united, ready to defend its interests, and open to fair, firm talks." With AP Australian Associated Press Daily Today's top stories curated by our news team.
