The US President announced the imposition of 25 percent tariffs on EU goods

US President Donald Trump announced on Wednesday that he will impose tariffs of 25 percent on goods imported from the European Union. The tariffs will include cars, among other things. Trump also announced that the suspended tariffs on imports from Mexico and Canada will go into effect on April 2.
“We have made a decision, we will announce it shortly and it will be, broadly speaking, 25%, and that will be for cars and all things,” Trump said when asked during a Cabinet meeting whether he would impose tariffs on EU goods.
"The European Union is a different case. They are using us in a different way (…) They are not accepting our cars, they are not accepting our agricultural products, for many different reasons. And we are accepting everything and we have a (trade) deficit of 300 billion with the European Union," he argued. "Let's be honest, the European Union was created to screw the United States. That is its purpose and they have done a good job. But now I am the president," he added.
Trump announced the tariffs less than a week after EU Trade Commissioner Marosz Szefczovicz visited the White House. After talks with the president’s advisers, Szefczovicz expressed hope for avoiding a U.S.-EU trade war and proposed mutually reducing tariffs on cars. He also argued that the EU could quickly and easily reduce its trade surplus (according to the EU, it is not $300 billion, but $50 billion after including services) by buying American LNG.
According to the European Commission, average EU tariffs on US products are 0.9%, while US tariffs on EU products are 1.4%. EU tariffs are higher on passenger cars (10% vs. US tariffs of 2.5%), but Washington applies higher rates to trucks and pick-ups.
Szefczovicz announced a "firm and proportionate" response from the EU. According to Trump, the EU "may try" to retaliate, but it will not be harmful to the American economy.
During Wednesday's meeting, Trump also announced that he intends to impose the suspended 25 percent tariffs on goods imported from Canada and Mexico starting April 2. The implementation of the tariffs - whose official purpose was to stop fentanyl smuggling - was suspended for 30 days in early February to give the countries time to talk. The US president's statement suggests that the US neighbors will gain an additional month.
Trump stressed that despite good cooperation with both countries and a significant drop in drug smuggling, he does not intend to give up imposing tariffs. "As good as they (Canada and Mexico - PAP) have been (...) the damage has already been done," the president said.
His statement caused confusion because until recently White House officials had announced that the tariffs would go into effect on March 4.
April 2 is also to be the date when tariffs against countries that charge higher tariffs than Washington does in trade with the US will come into effect. Trump has previously announced that in the case of the EU, its VAT tax will also be considered a tariff.

US President Donald Trump announced on Wednesday that he will impose tariffs of 25 percent on goods imported from the European Union. The tariffs will include cars, among other things. Trump also announced that the suspended tariffs on imports from Mexico and Canada will go into effect on April 2.
“We have made a decision, we will announce it shortly and it will be, broadly speaking, 25%, and that will be for cars and all things,” Trump said when asked during a Cabinet meeting whether he would impose tariffs on EU goods.
"The European Union is a different case. They are using us in a different way (…) They are not accepting our cars, they are not accepting our agricultural products, for many different reasons. And we are accepting everything and we have a (trade) deficit of 300 billion with the European Union," he argued. "Let's be honest, the European Union was created to screw the United States. That is its purpose and they have done a good job. But now I am the president," he added.
Trump announced the tariffs less than a week after EU Trade Commissioner Marosz Szefczovicz visited the White House. After talks with the president’s advisers, Szefczovicz expressed hope for avoiding a U.S.-EU trade war and proposed mutually reducing tariffs on cars. He also argued that the EU could quickly and easily reduce its trade surplus (according to the EU, it is not $300 billion, but $50 billion after including services) by buying American LNG.
According to the European Commission, average EU tariffs on US products are 0.9%, while US tariffs on EU products are 1.4%. EU tariffs are higher on passenger cars (10% vs. US tariffs of 2.5%), but Washington applies higher rates to trucks and pick-ups.
Szefczovicz announced a "firm and proportionate" response from the EU. According to Trump, the EU "may try" to retaliate, but it will not be harmful to the American economy.
During Wednesday's meeting, Trump also announced that he intends to impose the suspended 25 percent tariffs on goods imported from Canada and Mexico starting April 2. The implementation of the tariffs - whose official purpose was to stop fentanyl smuggling - was suspended for 30 days in early February to give the countries time to talk. The US president's statement suggests that the US neighbors will gain an additional month.
Trump stressed that despite good cooperation with both countries and a significant drop in drug smuggling, he does not intend to give up imposing tariffs. "As good as they (Canada and Mexico - PAP) have been (...) the damage has already been done," the president said.
His statement caused confusion because until recently White House officials had announced that the tariffs would go into effect on March 4.
April 2 is also to be the date when tariffs against countries that charge higher tariffs than Washington does in trade with the US will come into effect. Trump has previously announced that in the case of the EU, its VAT tax will also be considered a tariff.
