  • US-EU Trade Tensions Escalate: Trump Administration Raises Tariffs to 15-20% Targeting European Imports

    US-EU Trade Tensions Escalate: Trump Administration Raises Tariffs to 15-20% Targeting European Imports
    2025/09/10
    Listeners, welcome to European Union Tariff News and Tracker. Here’s your comprehensive update on the latest developments in US-EU tariff relations and headline news as of September 10, 2025.

    President Donald Trump’s administration has again placed tariffs at the center of its trade strategy. According to the Trade Compliance Resource Hub, President Trump announced in July his intent to raise the baseline reciprocal tariff rate to between 15 and 20 percent for key trading partners, including the European Union. Several of these measures took effect on August 1 and now apply a 15 percent or higher rate to many EU-origin goods entering the US. Additionally, Sullivan & Cromwell’s updated tariff tracker corroborates that automobiles and auto parts from the EU face a 15 percent US tariff, up sharply from preexisting rates. These automobile tariffs are part of Section 232 trade actions and potentially subject to further increases depending on ongoing negotiations.

    In response, the European Union has prepared its own set of countermeasures. The EU’s Implementing Regulation 2025/1564 authorizes tariffs ranging from 4.4 percent up to 30 percent on selected US goods. Notably, alcohol products could be hit by tariffs as high as 200 percent if threatened measures go ahead. Other sectors targeted for possible duties include aircraft, medical devices, IT equipment, and industrial machinery, collectively accounting for around €95 billion in US exports to Europe. Conversely, the EU is reviewing restrictions on exporting scrap metals and chemicals to the US—covering €4.5 billion in European exports—pending the outcome of formal consultations and negotiations.

    Listeners should also be aware of new mechanisms announced by the US Commerce Department for reviewing requests to expand Section 232 tariffs to derivative aluminum and steel products. The Bureau of Industry and Security now accepts requests in three annual windows, with results published after a 14-day comment period and finalized within 60 days. Proposed changes could subject new EU-made industrial goods to additional US tariffs under this process.

    Since May, the EU has been seeking input on potential trade countermeasures. As reported by the Trade Compliance Resource Hub, these options may be activated if ongoing US-EU negotiations do not yield a resolution, putting entire sectors such as automotive, electronics, and industrial supplies on notice for heightened duties and restrictions.

    To summarize, here are the key rates and headlines:
    - US baseline reciprocal tariff rate on EU-origin goods: 15–20 percent, effective as of August 2025.
    - US tariff on automobiles and parts from the EU: 15 percent, with possible further increases.
    - EU countermeasures: 4.4–30 percent tariffs on various US goods, up to 200 percent on selected alcohol products if implemented.

  • Trump Escalates EU Trade War with New Tariffs and Executive Order Targeting Tech, Imports, and Strategic Sectors

    Trump Escalates EU Trade War with New Tariffs and Executive Order Targeting Tech, Imports, and Strategic Sectors
    2025/09/08
    Welcome, listeners, to European Union Tariff News and Tracker. Today is September 8, 2025, and we bring you the latest headlines and analysis on tariffs and U.S.-EU trade relations—especially under President Trump’s administration.

    A major development: President Trump has just signed a new executive order on September 5, 2025, altering the U.S. reciprocal tariffs regime. According to trade compliance analysts, this order adjusts previous tariffs announced back in April. Some goods—like certain bullion-related articles, key minerals, and pharmaceutical products—are now exempt from the reciprocal tariffs if an investigation is pending. On the other hand, newly targeted goods include specific aluminum hydroxide, resin, and silicone products.

    There’s also a new “Potential Tariff Adjustments for Aligned Partners” annex. This means products such as aircraft parts, certain pharmaceuticals, natural resources, and agricultural goods not sufficiently produced in the U.S. could be subjected to Most-Favored-Nation or MFN tariffs, which are the baseline rates applied equally to WTO members unless superseded by a trade deal. The U.S. will determine these rates based on the trading partner’s commitments in a future reciprocal agreement.

    Listeners should note, however, that the U.S. Judiciary is impacting tariff policy too. In August 2025, a U.S. Appeals Court found most of President Trump’s broad reciprocal tariffs unlawful. While the tariffs remain in effect pending a Supreme Court appeal, this legal backdrop adds uncertainty to U.S.-EU trade and tariffs, impacting negotiations and corporate planning for both sides.

    Currently, the average U.S. tariff rate has jumped dramatically since January, climbing from 2.5% to nearly 19% as of August, and in some cases even higher. Trade policy sources highlight that some tariff proposals discussed by President Trump aimed for a baseline of 15–20% on European goods, though some of these hikes are still under negotiation or challenge.

    There’s no shortage of friction on the digital front. Trump has explicitly warned the European Union over what he calls “discriminatory” antitrust fines against major U.S. tech firms, such as Google and Apple. Earlier this month, the EU ordered Google to pay €3.2 billion (about $3.5 billion) in an antitrust penalty for its ad tech business. Trump responded with threats of a new Section 301 investigation to nullify what he claims are unfair EU penalties on American technology and innovation. He also referenced notable past decisions, such as the 2024 Irish court ruling requiring Apple to pay over $14 billion in back taxes.

    Listeners following the EU’s response will want to watch for countermeasures. As of July, the EU launched a public consultation on retaliatory duties if negotiations falter. Products under review include U.S. aircraft, cars, medical devices, IT equipment, and industrial machinery, amounting to €95 billion in annual exports. Possible EU export restrictions, including on metals and chemicals, are also under consideration.

  • US EU Trade War Escalates: Trump Tariffs Hit European Exports Hard with 50% Rates on Key Industrial Sectors

    US EU Trade War Escalates: Trump Tariffs Hit European Exports Hard with 50% Rates on Key Industrial Sectors
    2025/09/07
    Welcome to the European Union Tariff News and Tracker. Today is September 7, 2025. Donald Trump’s return to the White House this year has thrown the US-EU trade relationship into a turbulent phase, making tariff headlines unavoidable for our listeners.

    After months of negotiation, the US and European Union announced a new trade truce in July. According to a White House fact sheet and reporting from Al Mayadeen, this agreement sets a 15% tariff on most EU goods entering the United States, including autos, auto parts, pharmaceuticals, and semiconductors. However, higher sectoral tariffs remain unchanged for European steel, aluminum, and copper—these products still face a punishing 50% tariff rate. As a result, sectors like machinery and vehicles, which make up nearly 40% of EU manufactured exports to the US, are facing serious disruption. According to the German Mechanical Engineering Industry Association, about 30% of US machinery imports from the EU are now hit with the higher 50% tariffs, undermining the initial optimism around the 15% cap.

    The tariff formula complicates business: a typical million-dollar machine export from Europe with 20% steel content is taxed at 50% on the steel portion and 15% on the rest, leading to effective rates as high as 22%. Companies like Krone Group have already halted shipments bound for the US and sent workers home, while giants like John Deere are scrambling to adjust production costs and pricing structures. Bureaucracy is mounting as firms must now document the metal content of tens of thousands of components in every machine they ship across the Atlantic. These challenges add up in an already tenuous environment, with the $1.5 trillion transatlantic trade relationship hanging in the balance.

    Politically, this truce lacks solid enforceability and congressional backing, making it highly vulnerable to sudden reversal. Trump’s trade policy, widely described as unpredictable, continues to threaten stability. Just this week, Trump threatened additional tariffs on the EU in response to a €2.95 billion antitrust penalty imposed by the European Commission on Google. This move, announced on Truth Social, frames EU regulators as unfairly targeting US tech firms. Trump hinted at leveraging Section 301 of the Trade Act to investigate and possibly impose new restrictions if the US deems its companies are targeted unfairly. Though this dispute is technically separate from the broader tariff regime, it increases uncertainty for both markets and manufacturers.

    If you’re watching for signs of détente, it’s worth noting that while the EU removed most of its tariffs on American exports such as aircraft and chemicals, the climate remains tense. The US is insisting on strict rules of origin to block third-country goods from slipping in through Europe. Real-world wins have so far been limited to US energy and LNG exports, but supply chain headaches and shifting production have become the new normal for European industry.
