The EU seeks to reach a 'united front' to take the first set of countermeasures against Trump's tariffs

BlockBeats News: On April 6th, according to foreign media reports, EU countries will seek to form a united front in the coming days to retaliate against Trump's tariffs. The EU may approve the first set of targeted countermeasures against US imports worth up to $28 billion, such as dental floss and diamonds. The European Commission will present a list of additional tariffs on US products to member states later on Monday in response to Trump's steel and aluminum tariffs, rather than broader equivalent tariffs. Luxembourg will host the first EU wide political conference since Trump announced comprehensive tariffs earlier on Monday, where trade ministers from the 27 EU member states will exchange views on the impact of tariffs and how best to respond. EU diplomats stated that the main purpose of this meeting is to convey a consistent message, which is to negotiate with the United States on lifting tariffs, but if negotiations fail, prepare to take countermeasures.
