"At this stage, we have not received any official notification regarding the imposition of additional tariffs on EU goods. We will not respond to broad announcements without details or written clarification. The EU sees no justification for the imposition of tariffs on its exports. We will react to protect the interests of European businesses, workers and consumers from unjustified measures. In general: The imposition of tariffs would be unlawful and economically counterproductive, especially given the deeply integrated production chains the EU and US established through Transatlantic trade and investment," the statement read. Late on Sunday, the White House press pool reported that US President Donald Trump announced the imposition of 25% tariffs on steel and aluminum imports starting February 10. On February 1, Trump announced plans to impose tariffs on EU imports, accusing Brussels of "terribly" treating Washington. French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot later said that France urged the European Commission to take immediate retaliatory measures if Trump imposes trade tariffs on goods from the EU.
