EU "ready to retaliate" against US over new Russia sanctions

A document note prepared for an EC meeting on Wednesday seen by the daily, states that the EU “should stand ready to act within days” if the US measures were “adopted without EU concerns being taken into account”.

The note further states that the EU's primary focus should be on seeking “a public or written reassurance” from the Trump administration that it will "not apply the new sanctions in a way that targets EU interests."

According to the Financial times, EU officials are deeply concerned that the measures could hit European energy companies involved in Russia-related projects, including those engaged in the Nord Stream 2 pipeline to bring Russian gas to Germany.
