A top European Union official warned the U.S. on Tuesday that the world's biggest trade bloc "holds a lot of cards" when it comes to dealing with the Trump administration's new tariffs and has a good plan to retaliate if forced to. U.S. President Donald Trump has promised to roll out taxes on imports from other countries on Wednesday. He says they will free the U.S. from reliance on foreign goods. He's vowed to impose "reciprocal" tariffs to match the duties that other countries charge on U.S.
Main Idea: The European Union says it is ready with a strong retaliation plan if President Donald Trump's new tariffs force a trade fight.
Key Points:
New Trump tariffs could raise prices for US households and small businesses and spark EU retaliation that hits farmers, factories, and exporters.
