EU, China, and Canada Announce Retaliatory Tariffs in Response to Trump’s Trade Measures

The European Union plans to impose tariffs on iconic American goods while Trump promises further countermeasures in escalating trade tensions.

The European Union will impose tariffs starting April 1 on U.S. goods such as Harley-Davidson motorcycles, bourbon, and jeans, targeting €26 billion in exports in two phases.
Donald Trump’s administration reintroduced a 25% tariff on steel and aluminum imports, prompting swift international backlash from the EU, Canada, and China.
Canada plans to impose 25% tariffs on $30 billion CAD worth of U.S. imports, including sports equipment and computers, calling the measures 'unjustified.'
China has vowed to take 'all necessary measures' to protect its interests, despite its relatively smaller reliance on the U.S. market for steel and aluminum exports.
The EU has left the door open for negotiations with the U.S., but Trump has dismissed the retaliatory measures as 'disconnected from reality,' promising further trade actions.
