The EU "will react firmly and commensurately to defend our interests" in response to tough US steel and aluminum tariffs, the European Commission chief Jean-Claude Juncker said Thursday.

"The Commission will bring forward in the next few days a proposal for WTO-compatible countermeasures against the US to rebalance the situation," he said in a statement, referring to the World Trade Organization.

US President Donald Trump on Thursday announced he would sign off on measures designed to protect US producers, teeing up a possible trade war with China and Europe – AFP/APP
