EU Prepares to Retaliate to Trump's Threatened Auto Tariffs
Written by Sandy Williams
The European Union has prepared a list of nearly $40 billion (€35 billion) in U.S. goods it will hit with retaliatory duties should President Trump decide to impose tariffs of 25 percent on imported cars and auto parts.
EU Trade Commissioner Cecelia Malstrom said the list of targeted goods has been raised from €20 billion to €35 billion in a proactive measure to reject any tariffs on auto shipments to the U.S.
