ICYMI: Ireland's International Reach

US President Donald Trump has threatened to impose 30% tariffs on European Union goods. Brussels says it still wants to negotiate, but it is also reportedly preparing a plan in case of no deal. Could the EU mount a meaningful response? Yes, by targeting US services, where America runs a trade surplus. The challenge: getting key EU member states to overcome fears of provoking a broader escalation. Darragh O’Brien, Minister for Transport, Climate, Energy and the Environment for the Republic of Ireland, offers his assessment of the critical trade talks, his nation's importance to the global investing landscape, and Ireland’s sustainable energy plans as its data center installations continue to proliferate. Darragh speaks with Tim Stenovec and Carol Massar on Bloomberg Businessweek Daily. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
