EU's Tusk: we will stick to our guns in dispute with US on trade
European Council President Donald Tusk was out with some comments on the US President Donald Trump's trade tariffs and recent decision to withdraw from the Iran nuclear deal.
• "Unity is our strength" in dispute with Trump.
• Wants permanent exemption from tariffs if we are to discuss trade liberalization.
• EU needs a united front on Iran nuclear deal, "we must maintain it".
• Need to protect European companies against US decisions but also seek ways to address Iran's ballistic program and regional role.
