The European Union on Wednesday announced retaliatory trade action with new duties on U.S. industrial and farm products, responding within hours to the Trump administration's increase in tariffs on all steel and aluminum imports to 25%.The world바카라 게임 웹사이트�s biggest trading bloc was expecting the U.S. tariffs and prepared in advance, but the measures still place great strain on already tense transatlantic relations. Only last month, Washington warned Europe that it would have to take care of its own security in the future.The EU measures will cover goods from the United States worth some 26 billion euros ($28 billion), and not just steel and aluminum products, but also textiles, home appliances and agricultural goods. Motorcycles, bourbon, peanut butter and jeans will be hit, as they were during President Donald Trump's first term.The EU duties aim for pressure points in the U.S. while minimizing additional damage to Europe. The tariffs 바카라 게임 웹사이트� taxes on imports 바카라 게임 웹사이트� primarily target Republican-held states, hitting soybeans in House Speaker Mike Johnson바카라 게임 웹사이트�s Louisiana, but also beef and poultry in Kansas and Nebraska. Produce in Alabama, Georgia and Virginia is also on the list.The EU moves to protect itselfEuropean Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said in a statement that the bloc 바카라 게임 웹사이트�will always remain open to negotiation.바카라 게임 웹사이트�바카라 게임 웹사이트�As the U.S. are applying tariffs worth 28 billion dollars, we are responding with countermeasures worth 26 billion euros,바카라 게임 웹사이트� she said. The commission manages trade and commercial conflicts on behalf of the 27 member EU countries.바카라 게임 웹사이트�We firmly believe that in a world fraught with geopolitical and economic uncertainties, it is not in our common interest to burden our economies with tariffs,바카라 게임 웹사이트� von der Leyen said.The commission also said that steel and aluminum products would be hit in return, but also textiles, leather goods, home appliances, household tools, plastics and wood. Agricultural products will also be impacted 바카라 게임 웹사이트� including poultry, beef, some seafood, nuts, eggs, sugar and vegetables.Trump said his taxes would help create U.S. factory jobs, but von der Leyen said: 바카라 게임 웹사이트�Jobs are at stake. Prices will go up. In Europe and in the United States.바카라 게임 웹사이트�바카라 게임 웹사이트�We deeply regret this measure. Tariffs are taxes. They are bad for business, and even worse for consumers. These tariffs are disrupting supply chains. They bring uncertainty for the economy,바카라 게임 웹사이트� she said.American business group urges talksThe American Chamber of Commerce to the EU said the U.S. tariffs and EU countermeasures 바카라 게임 웹사이트�will only harm jobs, prosperity and security on both sides of the Atlantic.바카라 게임 웹사이트�바카라 게임 웹사이트�The two sides must de-escalate and find a negotiated outcome urgently,바카라 게임 웹사이트� the chamber said Wednesday.What will actually happen?Trump slapped similar tariffs on EU steel and aluminum during his first term in office, which enraged European and other allies. The EU also imposed countermeasures in retaliation at the time, raising tariffs on U.S.-made motorcycles, bourbon, peanut butter and jeans, among other items.This time, the EU action will involve two steps. First, on April 1, the commission will reintroduce what it calls 바카라 게임 웹사이트�rebalancing measures,바카라 게임 웹사이트� which the EU had from 2018 and 2020 but which were suspended under the Biden administration. Then on April 13 come the additional duties targeting 18 billion euros ($19.6 billion) in U.S. exports to the bloc.EU Trade Commissioner Maroš Šefčovič traveled to Washington last month in an effort to head off the tariffs, meeting with U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and other top trade officials.He said on Wednesday that it became clear during the trip 바카라 게임 웹사이트�that the EU is not the problem."바카라 게임 웹사이트�I argued to avoid the unnecessary burden of measures and countermeasures, but you need a partner for that. You need both hands to clap,바카라 게임 웹사이트� Šefčovič told reporters at the European Parliament in Strasbourg, France.European steel companies brace for lossesThe EU could lose up to 3.7 million tons of steel exports, according to the European steel association Eurofer. The U.S. is the second biggest export market for EU steel producers, representing 16% of the total EU steel exports.The EU estimates that annual trade volume between both sides stands at about $1.5 trillion, representing some 30% of global trade. While the bloc has a substantial export surplus in goods, it says that is partly offset by the U.S. surplus in the trade of services.Britain, which isn바카라 게임 웹사이트�t part of the EU, meanwhile said it won바카라 게임 웹사이트�t impose retaliatory measures of its own on the U.S.___Associated Press writer Jill Lawless in London contributed to this report.
