BlockBeats News, April 7th, Vice President of the European Commission Dombrovskis stated that the EU will start imposing the first batch of tariffs on U.S. imports from April 15th and the second batch from May 15th. The EU is imposing tariffs on the U.S. in response to the Trump administration's decision to impose tariffs on steel, aluminum, and cars, and a uniform 20% tariff on other goods. Additionally, the EU will establish an import surveillance working group to monitor potential product redirection due to U.S. tariffs. European Commission President von der Leyen said: "This is a major turning point for the U.S." "Nevertheless, we are ready to negotiate with the U.S. at any time." (FX168)
