Politico Europe reports:
The European Union upped the pressure Thursday in its trade dispute with U.S. President Donald Trump by proposing potential tariffs on nearly €100 billion of imports — including big-ticket items like aircraft.
The lists include includes passenger cars, medical devices, chemicals and plastics, and a slew of agricultural products. Also back on the list are bourbon and other spirits, after wine-producing nations France and Italy pressured the Commission to remove them fearing Trump’s wrath.
These are part of a 200-page catalog of more than 4,800 goods compiled by EU trade officials in response to Trump’s imposition last month of “reciprocal” tariffs as well as tariffs on EU cars. EU imports of these items exceeded €109 billion in 2024 according to Eurostat — aircraft are the biggest at more than €13 billion followed by autos at €7 billion.
