(Reuters) – The European Union’s top trade negotiator Maroš Šefčovič expects U.S. President Donald Trump to hit the bloc with tariffs of about 20% next week, the Financial Times reported on Wednesday.

Šefčovič told officials Washington’s final plan was still unclear but tariffs would apply equally to all 27 member states, after meeting senior administration figures on Tuesday, the newspaper said.
