EU Considers Retaliatory Tariffs on US Goods Amid Trade Dispute

Brussels - The European Union is considering voting on retaliatory tariffs targeting U.S. goods in response to tariffs imposed by the U.S. on steel and aluminum in March 2025.The EU's measures are a modified version of a list announced earlier and aim to minimize harm to European businesses. While bourbon was initially considered, it was later excluded after the former U.S. President Trump threatened tariffs on European alcohol.The EU prefers negotiation but is prepared to respond to U.S. tariffs on steel, aluminum, and potentially cars. Further actions, including measures against American tech firms, are under consideration. The EU hopes its market size will encourage a resolution to the trade dispute.
