The EU says Trump's tariff measures are unreasonable and will respond firmly and immediately

The European Commission said on Friday that it will "firmly and immediately" respond to the tariff increases caused by the "reciprocal" trade policy proposed by US President Trump, calling the policy unreasonable and a step in the wrong direction. The European Commission stated in a declaration: "The EU maintains some of the lowest tariffs in the world, there is no reason for the United States to raise tariffs on exports to the EU." The European Commission stated that more than 70% of imported products enter the EU duty-free.
