Italy and Germany are the EU
countries that are most exposed to the protectionist trade
policies United States President-elect Donald Trump's new
administration is expected to implement, European Economy
Commissioner Paolo Gentiloni said on Friday.
"It is obvious that this scenario could have repercussions in
some countries, particularly in the countries most exposed,"
Gentiloni said when presenting the Commission's autumn economic
forecasts in relation to the looming US tariffs.
"The two countries with the highest trade surpluses with the US
are Germany and Italy.
"So there is a potential impact, especially in some countries".
