Talks between Americans and European negotiators will also take place on the sidelines of this meeting on customs duties, as well as a meeting of the group of seven (G7) more developed industrial countries.

“The impact of the recent increases in customs duties between the United States and their commercial partners will become increasingly sensible to the financial indicators,” The OECD says.

This fear is even greater as ‘The United States is an important export market for a certain number of countries’, adds the organization and clarifies that the US is the destination for “About 75% of exports of goods from Mexico and Canada, 19% from Japan, 13% from China and 10% from Germany.”
