EU Countermeasures on US Imports Due to New Tariffs
March 12, 2025
The European Commission announced the imposition of countermeasures on imports of American products in response to new tariffs imposed by Washington on steel and aluminum. These tariffs, affecting imports worth 28 billion euros, are deemed 'unjustified' and disrupt transatlantic trade. The EU plans to implement the countermeasures by mid-April while remaining willing to negotiate a solution with the US. Commission President Ursula von der Leyen emphasized the need to protect consumers and businesses.
