WASHINGTON/PARIS (Reuters) - Washington will announce plans to slap tariffs on EU steel and aluminum imports as early as Thursday morning, sources said, while the U.S. commerce secretary said any escalation of their trade dispute would depend on the bloc’s reaction.

Quote:

While not confirming directly that the U.S. would decide to impose tariffs, he said: “It’s up to the European Union to decide if it wants to take retaliatory measures. The next question would be: how will the (U.S.) President (Donald Trump) react? You saw his reaction when China decided to retaliate.

Starting today, June 1st, 25 percent will be on steel and 10 percent for aluminum, as the US puts on the EU through these charges.

"Spiel über Bande" - hitting the EU, but the real target is the German trade surplus.

Germany wants to shy away and hope for the best, these good-hearted hopers, but retaliation plus X is needed. And if Trump strikes against that, retaliate again, this time plus X*2. Where only force is understood, it needs force to make oneself understood.

That tariff is also on Canada and Mexico, who have of course imposed tariffs of their own.

At least one consequence of this decision not sit well with the Trump base however, increased beer prices...

Anyway, of all the things hitting the EU hard at the moment this one is relatively minor.

If you were EUropean I would ask you if you have the license for that pic.

Harley-Davidson to move some production out of U.S. to avoid EU tariffs

Quote:

(Reuters) - Harley-Davidson Inc (HOG.N) said on Monday it would move production of motorcycles shipped to the European Union from the United States to its international facilities and forecast the trading bloc’s retaliatory tariffs would cost the company $90 million to $100 million a year.
