President Trump's decision to impose a 25% tariff on all steel and aluminum imports has drawn widespread condemnation from key trading partners including Canada, Mexico, and the EU. Leaders have called the tariffs unacceptable and warned they would respond with countermeasures, emphasizing that such actions could harm economic integration. Ursula von der Leyen expressed regret over the tariffs, asserting that the EU would protect its economic interests. Trump framed the tariffs as necessary for national security, escalating tension and fears of economic fallout as a result of potential retaliatory measures.
Ursula von der Leyen, the president of the European Commission, stated, "I deeply regret the US decision to impose tariffs on European steel and aluminum exports... The EU will act to safeguard its economic interests."
Trump framed the tariffs as a national security issue, stating, "It's 25 percent without exceptions or exemptions, Trump told reporters. That's all countries, no matter where it comes from."
