The war or dispute of tariffs between the United States and various regions of the world is far from over. After the trade issues that arose between the American nation and Canada and Mexico, it is now the European Union (EU) that will seek to counteract the constant interjections of this country by reintroducing tariffs on American products.

This series of economic impositions is in response to the applied tariffs, at 25%, on imports of steel and aluminum from the European region.

In response, the EU decided to apply the same measures against American products, which could affect exports with an estimated value of over 28 billion dollars.

Which products will be most affected?

The EU's strategy aims to counteract the effects of the United States' trade policies. Therefore, it will carry out a two-phase strategy starting next April.

Initially, the new tariffs will target, primarily, these products:

  • Bourbon whiskey
  • Peanut butter
  • Motorcycles
  • Jeans

In addition to this series of products, the European Union's trade strategy will also aim to impact various key states of the Republican Party and their most iconic products, such as:

  • Beef and poultry in Kansas and Nebraska
  • Wood products in Alabama and Georgia

However, as part of the aftermath of this trade war, tariffs will also affect Democratic states, like Illinois, through their main product: soybeans.

Despite this series of measures, the president of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, revealed that the region is open to discussions with the intention of finding a resolution. However, she did not hesitate to mention that these measures are part of a counterattack strategy against American impositions.

"As the United States is applying tariffs worth 28 billion dollars, we are responding with countermeasures worth 26 billion euros," von der Leyen revealed. 

In light of all the above, von der Leyen mentioned that the tariffs affect both economies, generating uncertainty in markets, as well as affecting supply chains, companies, and consumers.
