The European Union has proposed countermeasures on up to 95 billion euros ($107 billion) of US imports, including cars and planes, should negotiations with US President Donald Trump’s administration fail to deter a trade war.

Russian spokesman Dmitry Peskov has said that Europe wants to continue "war" in Ukraine as US and EU officials met in Paris for talks on the conflict.

Brussels said it is extremely concerned by reports of the humanitarian situation in Gaza.

Trump's tariff plan is likely to hit hard on tens of US commercial partners across the globe including EU.

For Donald Trump, the European Union is just another supranational entity – like the WTO and the WHO – that he believes keeps exploiting America.

The European Commission president asserts that Russia's military spending surpasses Europe's combined defense budget thus proposing an €800 billion weapons fund, dubbed 'Rearm Europe’.

EU leaders have pledged to boost military spending to 800 billion euros during a summit in Brussels.
