EU to launch WTO complaint on Trump's sweeping tariffs

The EU on Thursday said it will file a complaint with the World Trade Organization over US President Donald Trump's imposition of swingeing tariffs on European goods.

"The EU will also launch a WTO dispute against the US on its universal so-called 'reciprocal' tariffs and tariffs on cars and car parts, by formally lodging a request for consultations," the European Commission said in a statement.
