EU vows firm retaliation if Trump unleashes tariffs
Briefly

Brussels has been striving to negotiate with Trump to prevent a trade conflict; however, Trump has asserted his intention to impose tariffs on the EU. The European Commission expressed regret over US tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and China, citing economic disruption and inflation. While they affirm their commitment to a low-tariff trading system, EU officials prepare for potential retaliation against any US tariffs. Despite the tensions, the EU emphasizes the importance of its trade relationship with the US, the world's largest, and is wary of cracks in unity among member states, especially Germany.
The European Union regrets the US decision to impose tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and China. Tariffs create unnecessary economic disruption and drive inflation.
At this time, we are not aware of any additional tariffs being imposed on EU products. The 27-nation EU remains committed to low tariffs to drive growth.
