German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas urged the EU not to fear US sanctions and respond with similar measures. According to him, there is no disunity in Europe between politicians and heads of state should react to Washington's introduction of customs duties, as well as the withdrawal of Americans from the Iranian nuclear deal.
"In the case of economic sanctions or customs duties, we should not sit like rabbits before a boa constrictor", - quotes the Maass edition of Bild. At the same time, the minister noted that it is necessary to change the procedure for making important decisions by the European Union. In his opinion, the current regulations only increase the growing tension within the EU. Earlier, the Meuse attacked the criticism of Trump, who unleashed a trade war with China. Because of ill-considered actions, the politician, according to the minister, could seriously damage the German economy.
