MILAN (Reuters) - The United States will talk to the European Union before adopting its trade tariffs on European goods, the U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said in a video interview posted on daily La Stampa website on Friday.

“We will certainly talk to the EU... We will do our best to accommodate each country,” Pompeo said in the video interview.

But he said it was “definitely an unfair trading relationship”.

The U.S. on Wednesday said it would slap 10% tariffs on European-made Airbus AIR.PA planes and 25% duties on French wine, Scotch and Irish whiskies, and cheese from across the continent.
