Trump’s Tariff War Escalates as EU and Canada Respond

President Trump’s recent increase of tariffs on steel and aluminum imports to 25% has triggered swift retaliatory measures from the EU and Canada, set to take effect on April 1. The EU’s countermeasures will target U.S. goods valued at €26 billion, including beef, bourbon, and motorcycles, while Canada imposes 25% tariffs on various U.S. products.

These actions are expected to raise prices for consumers and strain transatlantic relations, with analysts warning of potential job losses. The American Chamber of Commerce urges both sides to negotiate a resolution.
