Irish Government hoping for negotiated settlement on US tariffs

Irish Government officials are seeking a negotiated settlement regarding US tariffs imposed on EU exports, which will significantly affect Ireland, according to Taoiseach Micheál Martin.
Micheál Martin noted that 70% of all EU exports to the US are subject to new tariffs, totaling around 80 billion euro in additional duties.
The Irish Government hopes for a negotiated settlement regarding the tariffs, with Martin suggesting that following this uncertainty could lead to global recessionary trends, and he regrets the tariffs imposed by the Trump administration.
Owen Reidy, General Secretary of the Irish Congress of Trade Unions, emphasized the need to protect jobs amid these trade challenges.
