Europe warns of a “strong revenge plan” a day before the start of the Trump tariffs of Trump

A European Union official from the United States warned on Tuesday that the largest commercial bloc in the world “carry a lot of cards” when it comes to dealing with the new tariff of the Trump administration and has a good plan to take revenge if it is forced to do so.

US President Donald Trump promised to offer taxes on imports from other countries on Wednesday. He says they will free the United States from relying on foreign goods.

He pledged to impose a “mutual” tariff to suit the duties of other countries on American products, dubbing on April 2 “Editing Day.”

“Europe has not started this confrontation. We do not necessarily want revenge, but if that is necessary, we have a strong plan for revenge and we will use it,” European Commission President Ursula von der Lean told European Union.

The committee, the European Union’s executive branch, is negotiating commercial deals on behalf of the member states of the 27th bloc and manages commercial disputes on their behalf.

“Europe carries a lot of cards, from trade to technology to the size of our market. But this force is also based on our willingness to take fixed counter measures if necessary. All tools on the table,” von der Lin said, in a European parliamentary session in Strasbourg.

The committee actually intends to impose duties on American goods, which are worth about $ 28 billion in mid -April, in response to Trump’s steel and aluminum definitions. European Union duties will target steel and aluminum products, but also textiles, home appliances and agricultural goods.

Much is still unknown on how Trump’s fees are already implementing, especially “mutual” definitions, and the European Union wants to evaluate its impact before taking retaliatory measures.

Von der Lin said: “Many Europeans are fully frustrated with the announcement by the United States,” Von der Lin said. “This is the largest and most prosperous commercial relationship all over the world. We will all be better if we can find a constructive solution.”
