Transatlantic Tensions: Workers Face Uncertain Future Amid US-EU Trade Showdown

EU Trade Commissioner Maroš Šefčovič and other leaders have called for unity in defending jobs and communities. The uncertainty is already chilling investment and could lead to layoffs, especially in sectors like manufacturing, where vulnerable groups such as immigrants are often hit hardest.
