Deputy Prime Minister Maxime Prévot reacts to the new customs duties announced by the US President
On April 2, the United States announced new import tariffs of 20% on almost all European products, and even higher rates on specific sectors to be determined. This will affect not only Belgian companies, but also our citizens in one way or another, particularly due to a decrease in economic growth. Belgium's growth could be affected, and this at a time when the United States itself is asking us to increase our defense investment spending.
