Juncker warns against EU-US trade war

European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker warned in a newspaper interview that a trade war between the United States and Europe would not be good for either. Asked by Bild am Sonntag newspaper whether Europe could withstand a trade war with the United States, Juncker said: "A trade war would neither be in Europe's nor the USA's interests."
He said it was necessary to take protectionist comments being made by US President Donald Trump's administration seriously and also to be prepared.
