European leaders criticize Trump's tariff threats and consider their own trade response

At the World Economic Forum in Davos, European leaders criticized President Donald Trump's recent threats to impose tariffs on allies. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen called the idea of U.S. tariffs a 'mistake,' and French President Emmanuel Macron also spoke against threatening allies.

In response, a leading faction in the European Parliament is pushing to suspend a plan that would eliminate tariffs on some U.S. products. This move is seen as a potential countermeasure if the U.S. moves forward with its own tariffs.
