EU Threatens Trump With Trade War After New Metal Tariffs | France Vows No Hesitation In Retaliation [Video]

EU Threatens Trump With Trade War After New Metal Tariffs | France Vows No Hesitation In Retaliation

The European Union is gearing up for a fierce trade battle after former U.S. President Donald Trump announced a sweeping 25% tariff on all steel and aluminum imports. French Finance Minister Jean-Noël Barrot issued a stark warning, declaring that the EU will take reciprocal measures and will not hesitate to defend its economic interests. Barrot recalled that when Trump imposed similar tariffs in 2018, the EU swiftly retaliated—targeting iconic American exports such as Harley-Davidson motorcycles, Levi’s jeans, and bourbon. With tensions escalating, Brussels is now preparing countermeasures, potentially igniting a fresh transatlantic trade war. Will the EU’s response deter Trump, or is the world on the brink of another economic showdown?
