The EU and Canada have retaliated for Trump’s latest prices
The commercial struggle was extended yesterday as the EU and Canada announced billions of dollars in reprisals on American exports, a few hours after the entry into force of President Trump on steel and aluminum. Here is the last.
Europe
The EU said the prices would take effect on April 1, an answer to around $ 26 billion in prices applied by the United States, but the Bloc officials stressed that they were ready to conclude an agreement.
Their response will occur in two parts. A price suspension implemented under Joe Biden will be authorized to travel on April 1, which increases the prices on billions of products from billions of euros which include boats, bourbon and motorcycles. The second step will be to place prices on approximately 18 billion euros in additional products, a list of which has not yet been finalized.
Canada
The Canadian government said it would impose new prices on the $ 20 billion in American imports. This tour is centered on steel and aluminum, but also applies to tools, computers, sports articles and cast iron.
