HOW THE EUROPEAN UNION COULD COUNTER US TARIFFS

The US (under Trump) has added a 25% tax on steel and aluminum imports.

This could hurt European businesses that sell these metals to the US.

The European Union (EU) needs to decide how to respond to this tax.

Possible actions:

Put its own taxes on US products.

Talk to the US to find a solution.

Take the issue to the World Trade Organization (WTO) for a fair decision.

Problem: Any response could make trade tensions worse.

Conclusion: It’s a complicated situation for Europe.
