The European Union is retaliating against U.S. tariffs on steel and aluminum by imposing its own tariffs on various American goods, particularly targeting products from Republican-held states. The first wave, effective April 1, includes steep tariffs on whiskey and motorcycles, reaching up to 50%. A second phase is set for April 13, potentially impacting items worth €18 billion. This strategy is intended to pressure the U.S. into negotiations while minimizing impact on European consumers, focusing on key agricultural and manufactured products tied to political districts of Republican representatives.
The European Union is putting tariffs on a range of products from the United States in retaliation to President Trump's steel and aluminum tariffs.
The European Union plans to institute the tariffs in two phases: the first wave will impact goods that already had tariffs applied during Mr. Trump's first term.
In that phase, the E.U. is planning to add levies to goods worth about 18 billion euros, or 19.6 billion dollars.
Many of the potential targets are largely produced in Republican-held areas, such as crops from the Louisiana district.
