The European Commission is considering slapping tariffs of up to 25% on a broad range of exports from the US in response to tariffs imposed on steel and aluminum by US President Donald Trump, according to an internal Commission document. The EU executive wants to impose a 25% duty on a wide range of U.S. exports, including soybeans, sweet corn, rice, almonds, orange juice, cranberries, tobacco, iron, steel, aluminum, certain boats and vehicles, textiles and certain clothes, and various types of makeup. The total amount of US exports hit by the tariffs is €22.1 billion based on the EU’s 2024 imports, according to public Eurostat figures, falling short of the Commission’s estimates of hitting €26 billion to “mirror” the damage from Trump’s steel and aluminum tariffs. …EU capitals will vote on the countermeasures on Wednesday. If they go through, most of the tariffs are expected to take effect May 16.
