THE European Union will respond with countermeasures if the United States imposes tariffs on its cars. The bloc’s Trade Commissioner, Cecilia Malmstrom, made the announcement in an interview with   Germany’s Die Zeit weekly on Wednesday.

She said that  the list  of items on possible hit-list could include cars, farming products and machinery
