Today's announcement of new EU tariffs on US goods is the first such measures from Brussels since Trump began imposing tariffs.
According to foreign media, the EU is set to confirm which products will be affected by its response to steel and aluminum tariffs within the next 24 hours, but it seems likely that American farmers will be targeted.
Agricultural products are often the target in trade wars, and multiple news agencies are suggesting that poultry, corn and fruit are among the goods that will be affected, writes A2 CNN.
Similarly, motorcycles are in the ‘line of fire.’ All of this would be reminiscent of the tariffs the EU imposed when Trump targeted steel and aluminum in his first term in office.
One difference may be that American whiskey is not targeted, because Trump has threatened even tougher tariffs on European alcohol if and when the EU is keen to protect a struggling industry. (A2 Televizion)
