EU to respond to Trump's tariffs with firm and proportionate measures

The European Union (EU) has announced plans to respond to former U.S. President Donald Trump's proposed tariffs with "firm and proportionate measures."

This approach aims to balance the need for a strong transatlantic relationship with the necessity to protect European industries from unfair trade practices.
