Which EU leader said the bloc must keep 'nerves of steel' in trade talks with the U.S. at the June 2025 G7 summit in Canada?

Question

Accepted Answer

European Council President Antonio Costa urged EU leaders to maintain "nerves of steel" during the June 15-17 G7 summit in Kananaskis, Canada, while the July 9 tariff deadline loomed. Costa insisted that "no tariff will increase U.S. exports of goods or services to Europe" and called for the EU to be "firm but smart." Six weeks later, the brinkmanship paid off: Trump and von der Leyen reached a 15% deal at Turnberry on July 27, well below the 50% Trump had originally threatened.
