The Red States can be the most loaded if the European Union avenge the US Tariff on steel and aluminum.
The EU said he would issue tariffs for retaliation in two stages, and the first wave came into force on April 1, which affected the item of 8 billion euros. The 99-page list of products that may be taxed by the second wave of tariffs comes into force on April 13 and aimed at the $ 18 billion goods announced. In total, in two stages, the EU will impose additional tariffs for 26 billion euros.
It remains unclear how the tariffs will be structured. The EU is currently talking to consumers, companies and politicians before it completes the list of goods. 27 union countries are likely to harvest in the Louisiana area, represented by Speaker Mike Johnson, except for Nebraska and Kansas, since European officials seek to focus on politically sensitive areas that could force the US to the negotiating table.
Last month, Moros Shefchovich, the EU Trade Commissioner, met with US Secretary of Trade Howard Lutnik in an attempt to prevent tariffs. On Wednesday, he said the trip to Washington made it clear: “that the EU is not a problem.”
“I claimed to avoid unnecessary loads and countermeasures, but you need a partner. You need both hands to clap your hands,” he told reporters.
The European Steel Association of Eurofer has stated that the union could lose as much as 3.7 million tonnes of steel exports, as the United States is the second largest manufacturers market, which is 16 percent of all European steel exports.
According to the EU, the annual trade between the Union and the US is about $ 1.5 trillion, or 30 percent of world trade. The EU has an export surplus to the goods, but they note that the US has surplus when it comes to services.
These are some goods that may be affected in the second wave of tariffs.
Bourbon, boats and motorcycles
The initial tariffs will be placed on the goods that were affected by Donald Trump’s President’s first term. Harley-Davidson whiskey and motorcycles face tariffs by 50 percent.
The head of the Distilled Spirit Council Chris Svonger said that actions with the EU “deeply disappointing and greatly undermined successful efforts to restore US spirits in the EU,” the AP reports.
The EU has been buying a considerable amount of American whiskey, and exports in the last three years increased by 60 percent when previous tariffs have been removed.
Mowers, washing machines and refrigerators
EU tariffs can aim for household appliances, both large and small when bureaucrats try to hit the US where it hurts.
Outdoors, tents and tools
Some tariffs can be interpreted as direct attacks on American entertainment. On Wednesday, the European Commission revealed its two -stage plan, which goes much further than the trading plug from Trump’s first term in the White House.
Vegetable machines and snowstorms
Heavy technique can also be oriented when the American industry is being studied.
Meat, poultry, fruits, vegetables, beer and wine
Import taxes can be placed on beef and bird from republican states such as Kansas and Nebraska. Some blue states may also be injured, including Illinois, the chief US manufacturer.
Wooden products
Alabama and Georgia can see their wooden branches aimed at tariffs.
Chewing gum, communion plates, peanut butter and nicotine products
Ursula von der Leyen, president of the European Commission, said in a statement that the union “will always remain open to negotiations”.
“How US [is] By applying tariffs worth $ 28 billion, we respond to counter -26 billion euros, ”she added.
“We firmly believe that in the world, rich in geopolitical and economic uncertainty, it is not in our common interest to load our economy with tariffs,” she added.
Bags, jeans, shirts and women’s négligés
Von der Leyen continued to say that “jobs are put on the map. Prices will rise. In Europe and the USA.”
“We are deeply sorry for this measure. Tariffs are taxes. They are bad for business, and worse for consumers. These tariffs violate supply chains. They bring uncertainty for the economy,” she said.
Meanwhile, the US Chamber of Commerce in the European Union has stated that the US and EU tariffs “will only harm jobs, well -being and security on both sides of the Atlantic.”
“Both sides must de-escalate and urgently find negotiations,” the House added on Wednesday.
