The European Union is preparing a response to trade tensions with the USA. The EU Commission announced steps to be taken if negotiations regarding automobiles and tariffs with the USA fail.

The product list prepared by the EU includes imports from the USA worth 95 billion euros, covering many items such as wine, fish, and automobiles.

President Donald Trump imposed a 25% tariff on steel and aluminum imports, prompting the EU to take countermeasures.

The EU aims to find a mutually beneficial solution through negotiations. However, if no results are achieved, it will take countermeasures to protect its consumers and industry.

The EU stated that it is open to negotiations to strengthen trade relations with the USA and achieve a fair agreement. It emphasized that both sides need to make joint efforts in this process.
