In Brussels, after 06:00 Wednesday. But it was at the midnight of Washington DC at the 25% tariff of President Donald Trump and Aluminum enforced the main trade colleagues in the US.

It takes at least 10 minutes for responding to the European Union.

“Tariffs are taxes. They are bad for business, and worse for consumers,” as the European Commission Pressismission Presides Ursula von der Leyen.

EU’s initial countermeasures will be implemented in US products on 1 April, from jeans and motorcycles of peanut butter and bourbonLike they are with the first Tariffs of the Trump Administration in 2018 and 2020.

But there is more to come in mid-April. A full seizure of cloths, household goods, food and agricultural products involved, depending on a two-week consultation of concerns.

A list of items nearly 100 pages surrounding meat, milk, salaries, clothes, tires, shoes, chandeliers and lawnmolers.

For consumers, higher prices beaten by European supermarkets, especially for American products. But for businesses and some industries, especially iron, have real danger.

The head of the German Federation in Wholesale, the foreign trade, Dirk Jandura, warned that the Germans needed to deepen American products in supermarkets.

Orange juice, bourbon and peanut butter are the most likely products to hit. “The trading margins are very low that these companies cannot be absorbed,” he said.

Overall, the EU will target € 26bn (£ 22bn) in US Exports.

“We don’t go to hypotheticals other than say that we prepare all the consequences,” as EU spokesman Olof Gill.

António Costa, the President of the EU council, called the US to be de-excalate, although there was a small sign of it on Wednesday, because Trumpze promised to hit the EU countermeasures.

“We have been abused long and we will never abuse,” he said.

In Austria also, there is an anxiety to increase.

“The US is the second most important export market for Austrian products after Germany – and the most important for Germany,” says Christoph Neumayer, which is the Federation of Austrian Industries. It is “important that Europe works together and complain”, he added.

An EU officer focuses off products such as soybeans and orange juice can be easily obtained from Brazil or Argentina, so consumers are less likely to hit.

For French cognac producers, the hope of a 25% import of US import is also a major problem as the majority of their produce for exports for US or China.

French producers hit Chinese steps which destroyed heavy cognac tax.

“Morale fell into debris,” Bastien Bramofo in General Winegrower ‘Union told France information.

Thousands of jobs are at risk of Chaerte Region, he said: “Cognac is a product made for export.”

There was a terrible warning from the head of the European Steel field, Henrik Adam.

“The ‘America’s’ America’ ‘America’ Police’s threatening to be a final nail in the steel industry in Europe,” he warned.
