It cannot be right to jeopardize relations between the EU and United States because you get an answer a few weeks after the time you want it,
My message to the United States is a simple one: use the WTO system, but do not expect us to bend it to suit a timetable that you are seeking to impose by means of illegal unilateral action,

The United States decided to defy the WTO system by introducing a form of sanctions which has no WTO authorization whatsoever, ... What the United States has done is therefore unacceptable and unlawful.
