The European Union does not rule out that Donald Trump's victory in the elections could have a negative impact on trade.
In order to avoid possible consequences, the EU has prepared a response plan.
This information was shared by the Politico newspaper, citing its own sources.
There is a possibility that after being elected to the White House, Donald Trump will introduce high tariffs on American imports.
To prevent this from happening, the EU intends to hold talks with him before the official ceremony of the president's inauguration takes place.
According to information available to Politico, the European side is preparing a plan in case the negotiations fail and is confident that it will win this trade war.
European officials are of the opinion that the tougher the EU's response, the sooner Trump will sit down at the negotiating table with them.
The publication quoted Marjorie Chorlins, vice president of the US Chamber of Commerce for European Affairs, as saying that neither side is interested in pursuing the path of negotiations.
