The European Union (EU) holds distinct views on tariffs, especially in the context of international trade relations.
In response to the US's “reciprocal tariffs” policy, the EU firmly states that it is “a step in the wrong direction”. The EU argues that tariffs are, in essence, taxes that burden US citizens, increase business costs, suppress economic growth, and fuel inflation. They also heighten economic uncertainty and disrupt the global market's efficiency and integration. The EU has always been committed to building an open and predictable global trade system for the benefit of all partners, believing that trade relations should be based on transparency, fairness, and mutual benefit.
The EU's stance on tariffs also stems from its own economic interests. As a major economic bloc, the EU has a large volume of trade with the US and other countries. Unilateral tariff hikes by the US would harm EU businesses, workers, and consumers. For example, the EU exports a significant amount of steel and aluminum to the US, and the 25% tariffs on these products imposed by the US would deal a blow to EU manufacturers.
In summary, the EU opposes unjustified tariff increases and will take resolute actions to safeguard the interests of its member states and the stability of the global trade order. Xbbbb (talk) 09:30, 27 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Trump has yet to enact tariffs on the EU directly and this page doesn't seem to be updated frequently. For now, all the information in it is echoed in Second Trump tariffs. Should the page be merged at least until direct tariffs begin? satkara❈talk03:48, 16 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
