EU plans Trump-style restrictions on food imports

The first targets could include US agricultural products, such as soybeans, grown with pesticides

Newsroom February 16 11:00

The European Commission will agree next week to consider tighter restrictions on imports, according to the paper, whose authors cite three unnamed officials.
