Ursula Von der Leyen, President of the European Commission, affirmed the EU's readiness to implement countermeasures against the US tariffs imposed by Trump. Following discussions with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, Von der Leyen indicated that the EU will propose tariffs on $28 billion worth of US goods in retaliation. This action responds to steel and aluminum tariffs and highlights growing trade tensions, as nearly two-thirds of EU exports to the US face increased duties. A meeting of EU trade ministers aims to consolidate the response to these challenges.
European Union chief Ursula Von der Leyen stated, 'We are prepared to defend our interests with proportionate countermeasures' against Trump's tariffs, reaffirming the EU's negotiation commitment.
The EU's retaliation against US tariffs will include proposed duties on US products worth $28 billion, targeting items like meat, cereals, wine, and clothing.
The new US tariffs could affect over two-thirds of EU exports to the US, highlighting the significant economic impact on European nations.
In response to Trump's steel and aluminum tariffs, the EU is planning a meeting of trade ministers to forge a unified strategy against these measures.
