The Government strongly supports the approach being taken by the EU on US trade tariffs, as Tánaiste Simon Harris has emphasised the need for EU unity on the matter.

Speaking at the Global Ireland Summit 2025 on Tuesday, Mr Harris said the Government has been consistent in its message that there is no justification for the tariffs imposed by the US on its trading partners, and that it has simply driven inflation and hurt consumers on both sides.
