EU chief Ursula von der Leyen said the bloc was ready to take all "necessary" steps to safeguard its economic interests, after US President Donald Trump announced that he would impose 30% tariffs on all EU goods.

"In a non-deal scenario without another delay of US tariffs, I see the EU going for a tit-for-tat approach, ie imposing 30% tariffs on selected US goods, not yet all goods, like the well-known motorcycles, cars, clothing and alcohol," he said in emailed comments.

The EU plans to impose 30% tariffs on €100 billion of U.S. goods as retaliation if no trade deal is reached by Aug. 1, heightening uncertainty.

President Donald Trump on Saturday announced 30 percent tariffs on all European goods entering the U.S., prompting pushback from European allies.

The member states adopted on Thursday morning the list of countermeasures targeting €93 billions' worth of US products in response to US tariffs, but the Commission is yet to follow suit. It will only come into effect on August 7 if the two parties fail to reach an agreement.

The ACI was proposed in 2021 as a response to EU member criticism that the first Trump administration and China had used trade as a political tool. China had targeted Lithuania, according to Lithuanian officials, after it allowed Taiwan to set up a de facto embassy in Vilnius.

The European Union has returned U.S. spirits to its proposed list of retaliatory tariffs. Here's what that could mean for Kentucky's bourbon industry.

A three-day meeting in response to President Trump’s looming tariff threat underscored differences between the leaders of Canada’s provinces and territories.
