JUST IN: đ«đ·đȘđș France say European Union is ready to retaliate against President Trump's tariffs.
The France's warning that the EU possesses retaliatory tools against US tariffs announced by President Trump, stemming from a recent Supreme Court ruling that invalidated prior duties, prompting a new 10% global levy on imports.
- This echoes the 2018 US-EU steel and aluminium tariff dispute, where the EU imposed countermeasures on $3 billion of US goods, potentially leading to similar WTO-compliant responses that could raise prices for consumers on both sides.
- Economic analyses, including from the European Commission, estimate that escalating tariffs could reduce EU growth by 0.2-0.5% in the medium term, underscoring risks to global supply chains in sectors like automotive and agriculture.$BTC #EuropeanStand #Europe
