The European Union has announced plans to impose retaliatory tariffs worth 95 billion euros ($107 billion) on a broad range of American goods if ongoing trade negotiations with the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump fail to yield a satisfactory agreement. The EU's proposed countermeasures target diverse U.S. imports including cars, planes, food products, electronics, and more unusual items such as beef tongues, human hair, and even opium. The move follows the U.S. implementation of sweeping tariffs on European products, which Brussels has challenged by filing a complaint with the World Trade Organization (WTO). EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen emphasized the preference for a negotiated solution but indicated that the EU is prepared to act and keep all options open if talks collapse. The EU has also invited public comments on the list of products subject to potential tariffs as it prepares for possible WTO proceedings and further trade retaliation. The U.S. administration has warned the EU against imposing retaliatory tariffs, underscoring the escalating tensions in transatlantic trade relations.
