The EU will impose retaliatory tariffs on some 26 billion euros ($28.33 billion) worth of U.S. products from April 2025, including textiles and home appliances, farm produce, and motorbikes, in retaliation against U.S. tariffs on steel and aluminum. The two-stage process is the reimposition of suspended tariffs and the new tariffs, with the EU saying the U.S. tariffs are unjust and detrimental to companies and consumers. Notwithstanding these steps, the EU remains willing to engage in negotiations with the U.S. to put an end to the trade dispute and ease any possible economic strain.
