Statement by President von der Leyen on Announced US Tariffs

I deeply regret the US decision to impose tariffs on European steel and aluminum exports.

Tariffs are taxes - bad for business, worse for consumers.

Unjustified tariffs on the EU will not go unanswered; they will trigger firm and proportionate countermeasures.

The EU will act to safeguard its economic interests. We will protect our workers, businesses, and consumers.
