EU announces countermeasures to US tariffs, new import duties

The EU has announced it will respond to US tariffs on steel and aluminium imports by reimposing tariffs on American products including whiskey, motorcycles, peanut butter and boats – starting in April.

The European Commission said the countermeasures aim to protect European businesses, workers and consumers from the impact of US tariffs of up to 25% on imports of steel, aluminium and certain products containing metals.

According to the Commission, the new US tariffs will affect EU exports worth 26 billion euros ($28.3 billion), approximately 5% of total EU exports of goods to the US, resulting in US importers having to pay up to 6 billion euros in additional import duties.
