…The levies #Trump announced on Wed are separate from the ones he has already imposed on #steel, #aluminum, & foreign-made #cars & parts. Taken as a whole, his tariffs represent a dramatic expansion from the more narrowly targeted duties he imposed in his first term—some of which the Biden Admin retained—& a final nail in the coffin for the open #trading environment that reigned before 2016.

#EU retaliates against #Trump’s #tariffs as #TradeWar escalates

The #EuropeanUnion hit back Wed at Trump’s #steel & #aluminum tariffs w/its own levies, announcing tariffs on billions of dollars’ worth of products, including bourbon & motorcycles, while warning of further retaliation.

The 27-nation bloc said its 2-stage response would target ~$28B in US exports. The announcement of the European measures came at the same time Trump’s tariffs took effect.

#Trump announces fresh round of #tariffs on #steel & #aluminum

Trump signed #ExecutiveOrders on Mon imposing 25% tariffs on imported steel & aluminum, the latest salvo in his ongoing effort to overhaul the US #trading relationship w/the rest of the world.

“This is a big deal — making America rich again,” said Trump as he was signing the orders [& utterly devoid of irony].
