EU to impose counter tariffs on $28 billion in US goods<br /><br />The European Union will impose counter tariffs on 26 billion euros ($28 billion) worth of US goods from next month, the European Commission said on Wednesday (March 12), ramping up a global trade war in response to blanket US tariffs on steel and aluminum.<br /><br />"The counter measures we take today are strong but proportionate. As the United States are applying tariffs worth $28 billion, we are responding with counter measures worth 26 billion euros," European Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen told reporters. "The EU must act to protect its consumers and business." <br /><br />EUROPEAN UNION / REUTERS VIDEO<br /><br />Subscribe to The Manila Times Channel - https://tmt.ph/YTSubscribe <br /><br />Visit our website at https://www.manilatimes.net <br /><br />Follow us: <br />Facebook - https://tmt.ph/facebook <br />Instagram - https://tmt.ph/instagram <br />Twitter - https://tmt.ph/twitter <br />DailyMotion - https://tmt.ph/dailymotion <br /><br />Subscribe to our Digital Edition - https://tmt.ph/digital <br /><br />Check out our Podcasts: <br />Spotify - https://tmt.ph/spotify <br />Apple Podcasts - https://tmt.ph/applepodcasts <br />Amazon Music - https://tmt.ph/amazonmusic <br />Deezer: https://tmt.ph/deezer <br />Tune In: https://tmt.ph/tunein<br /><br />#TheManilaTimes<br />#worldnews <br />#tarrifs <br />#us <br />#eu
