Summary
The EU has voted to implement retaliatory tariffs on $23 billion worth of U.S. goods, countering President Trump's 25% tariffs on European aluminum and steel. Set to occur in phases beginning April 15, the EU aims to pressure the U.S. into negotiations, asserting these tariffs are 'unjustified and damaging' to both economies. While the EU is targeting products such as meat and clothing, it signals a preference for a mutually beneficial resolution. Only Hungary opposed the tariffs, highlighting the EU's unified stance against U.S. trade policies.
