EU readies trade countermeasures against Trump tariffs

The US President Donald Trump has unveiled sweeping new tariffs set to take effect next week, prompting the European Union to evaluate potential retaliatory trade measures, Bloomberg reports.

Since Donald Trump's first term, the EU has created a robust toolbox to counter his unconventional trade policies. The agency strategists suggest the EU will respond swiftly to any unfair US tariffs.

Bloomberg reports the European Union is considering retaliatory trade measures against the United States, which is a preferred method for resolving disputes with the Trump administration. Such action would simultaneously mitigate economic losses for the EU while disrupting critical US supply chains.

Furthermore, the European Union stands prepared to activate its Anti-Coercion Instrument (ACI), a legislative framework designed to counter external economic pressure. The mechanism, as reported by Bloomberg, authorizes various countermeasures including trade restrictions, intellectual property right limitations, and foreign investment controls.

The EU will undergo extensive deliberations and situation analysis among member state leaders before implementing such significant measures.
