US tariffs of 30% could accelerate job losses
IRELAND, JUL 15 – The Irish government is negotiating to avoid a trade war and planning trade missions to diversify markets amid concerns that 30% US tariffs could accelerate job losses, officials said.
- US President Donald Trump threatened to impose 30% tariffs on EU imports starting August 1 if no trade agreement is reached.
- This threat follows stalled negotiations and a missed July 9 deadline despite hopes for a deal to avoid a trade war.
- Irish Deputy Prime Minister Simon Harris warned the 30% tariffs would extraordinarily alter Ireland-US trade and could accelerate job losses.
- Simon Harris described the introduction of 30% tariffs as having a profound effect and referenced EU Trade Commissioner Maros Sefcovic’s warning that such tariffs could severely restrict transatlantic trade.
- The EU remains open to agreement by August 1 while preparing countermeasures worth €72 billion that would harm both sides if talks fail.
