EU Fires Back Against US Tariffs

EU Fires Back Against US Tariffs
The European Union has responded to President Donald Trump's recent threat to impose a 30 percent tariff on European imports. The European Commission has proposed countermeasures, targeting US aircraft, cars, and food products. This latest retaliatory strike comes in the midst of an ongoing trade war between the US and EU, with both sides imposing tariffs on various goods. The EU's decision to hit US aircraft and cars is a direct response to Trump's own tariff on European steel and aluminum. The Commission's move is seen as a message to the US that the EU will not back down in the face of these trade tensions.
