EU gaat represailles nemen tegen Amerikaanse staal- en aluminiumtarieven
February 12, 2025 - The European Union has vowed to respond to tariffs on all U.S. steel and aluminium imports, escalating a potential trade dispute with one of Washington’s closest allies.
U.S. President Donald Trump announced the 25 percent tariffs on all steel and aluminium imports would take effect on March 12.
EU member states have approved levies of up to 50 per cent on €4.8bn of U.S. imports and could quickly take a final vote to impose them. The products would include bourbon whisky, Harley-Davidson motorcycles, motorboats and some steel and aluminium, according to the Financial Times.
