The European Union approved tariffs for US goods in the amount of about 21 billion euros in response to 25% of the responsibilities that US President Donald Trump introduced last month for the export of steel and aluminum from the EU countries.
Bloomberg announced this today, April 9.
It is noted that most of the 27 EU member states voted for these sanctions on Wednesday, some of which will enter into force in mid-April.
Tariffs will be aimed at politically sensitive American states and will include products such as Louisis soybeans, from where the speaker of the House of Representatives Mike Johnson, as well as diamonds, agricultural products, birds and motorcycles, the agency says.
The European Commission in its statement stated that this counterclaim can be suspended at any time, “if the United States agrees to a fair and balanced result of negotiations.”
This step increases the growing transatlantic trade war, in which the United States also applied a universal 20% tariff for almost all European exports, as well as a separate 25% duty in the car and some autopsy. Trump said that he would announce additional indicators of lumber, semiconductor chips and pharmaceutical products.
All new Trump tariffs will affect the EU goods worth about 380 billion euros.
