\u201cThe EU considers U.S. tariffs unjustified and damaging, causing economic harm to both sides, as well as the global economy. The EU has stated its clear preference to find negotiated outcomes with the U.S., which would be balanced and mutually beneficial,\u201d the EU executive said in a statement.<\/p>\n
Hitting back against U.S. President Donald Trump\u2019s steel and aluminum tariffs, the European Union\u2019s countermeasures will apply in three rounds. Measures covering \u20ac3.9 billion in trade will go into force next week, with a further \u20ac13.5 billion from mid-May and a final round of \u20ac3.5 billion following in December.”<\/p>\n
