EU Tariff Targets Include Boeing, US Cars and Bourbon
EUROPEAN UNION, JUL 15 – The European Union targets $84 billion in U.S. goods including aircraft and agricultural products in retaliation for U.S. tariffs, aiming for a settlement by August 1, officials said.
- On July 14, 2025, EU trade ministers convened in Brussels to consider broadening and prolonging tariff actions targeting American products with a total value of approximately 72 billion euros.
- The EU's actions respond to earlier US tariffs imposed by President Trump, including a 20% levy on most goods and additional 25% levies on cars and parts.
- The EU's 206-page countermeasure list targets Boeing aircraft, automobiles, bourbon, machinery, medical devices, and agrifood products like fruits and alcoholic drinks.
- Trade chief Maros Sefcovic called the US tariff plan 'effectively prohibitive' and planned to negotiate with US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick before a potential 30% EU tariff starting August 1.
- The EU insists negotiations must be mutually beneficial, while both sides remain open to talks, but the tariff threats risk harming businesses, consumers, and transatlantic trade relations.
