The EU targeting US tech services in response to sweeping new tariffs ordered by President Donald Trump would be an "extraordinary escalation", Ireland warned Monday, before European ministers met in Luxembourg.

"It would be an extraordinary escalation at a time when we must be working for de-escalation," said Irish Trade Minister Simon Harris, whose country relies heavily on US investment, particularly in the pharmaceutical and tech sectors.
