EU readying ‘countermeasures’ if tariffs deal with US crumbles
- On Friday, U.S. President Donald Trump announced a 50% tariff on steel imports, affecting trade between the U.S. And the EU.
- The tariffs came after a 90-day suspension designed to facilitate negotiations, which leaders from the European Union and the United States agreed to expedite last week.
- European Commission spokesperson Olof Gill said the EU is preparing countermeasures, finalizing an expanded list set to take effect on or before July 14.
- Gill indicated that if the ongoing negotiations fail to reach an equitable agreement, the European Union is ready to implement retaliatory measures, particularly in reaction to the recent tariff hike.
- These developments complicate ongoing trade talks, as the EU aims to avoid tariff hikes that could raise prices on products from cars to household goods.
