Greece condemns US tariffs, hopes they don't last

Greek Finance Minister Kyriakos Pierrakakis criticized the new US tariffs as a historic shift toward protectionism, emphasizing Greece's support for free trade and hoping the measures are short-lived.

Greek finance minister said on Thursday that the fresh tariffs imposed by the U.S. government on world trade were a historic shift towards protectionism and a deviation from how the European Union sees economic and social progress.

"As a country, we are in favour of free trade," Kyriakos Pierrakakis said in a statement. "We hope that this chapter will last as little as possible."
