“We are not going to reverse. We will defend our sovereignty and we will not change the legislation that we have democratically configured and in the interest of the EU citizens, although this dislikes some US billionaires,” he mentioned. The German has known as to unify the voice of all affected nations to “respond with a united front and send a clear message to the United States to put an end to this tariff madness.”
