The European Union plans to convene a meeting to draft a package of retaliatory tariffs in response to the United States’ latest protectionist move, according to people familiar with the bloc’s preparations. The gathering, expected in the coming days, follows signals from President Donald Trump’s administration that it will impose new 30% duties on a broad range of imports. EU trade officials are assessing which U.S. products could face counter-measures and the scale of duties required to match Washington’s action. Brussels has warned repeatedly that it will respond “swiftly and proportionately” to additional U.S. trade barriers. The planned meeting underscores escalating trans-Atlantic tensions only months after the U.S. levied a record 145% tariff on Chinese goods, a step that has already disrupted global supply chains.
