(Reuters) - The EU is prepared to deploy its most powerful trade measures and may impose levies on U.S. digital companies if negotiations with U.S. President Donald Trump fail to end his tariff war against Europe, EU President Ursula von der Leyen told the Financial Times on Thursday.

The EU would seek a "completely balanced" agreement with Washington during Trump's 90-day pause in applying additional tariffs, the report added.
