The European Union is actively crafting countermeasures to respond to US President Trump's newly announced tariffs, which Commission president Ursula von der Leyen describes as damaging to the global economy. Already planning tariffs on US goods worth 26 billion euros, the EU is contemplating further actions, potentially including tariffs on digital services from major tech corporations. Von der Leyen emphasized the EU's readiness to protect its interests if negotiations with the US do not yield results, indicating a broad spectrum of options under consideration to mitigate the impact of Trump's policies.
"We are now preparing further countermeasures to protect our interests and companies," she said during her visit to Samarkand, Uzbekistan.
Every option is now on the table within the EU to counter Trump's tariffs.
These measures are a response to the American steel and aluminum tariffs that took effect on March 12.
A French government spokesperson explained that further measures could cover a broader range of goods and services.
