\n Despite EU countries fronting an outward show of unity over the Trump White House’s tariff threats, dividing lines are emerging: some favour swift retaliatory action, others would prefer ongoing dialogue with the US. At stake is whether Europe can continue negotiating en bloc or will see a splinter.
\n ADVERTISEMENTUS President\u00a0Donald Trump’s swift announcement of new trade sanctions on trading\u00a0partners appears to have wrong footed the EU as countries are divided over whether to adopt a more hawkish rapid or measured paced response in retaliation, with France and Germany on opposing sides, according to several sources Euronews spoke to.On Friday, the European commission promised to react “firmly and immediately” to Trump’s announcement of reciprocal tariffs to its trade partners.Spearheading those who emerged from an emergency video conference of EU trade ministers held on\u00a0Wednesday\u00a0evening favouring a rapid response from the Commission is France, by contrast\u00a0Germany, Italy and Hungary are clearly in the doveish camp, the sources said.Citing \u201cnational security\u201d, Trump announced on Monday he intended to impose 25% tariffs on\u00a0imports of\u00a0aluminium and steel, including from Europe.The executive order, which\u00a0will\u00a0take effect\u00a0on 12 March, was followed on Thursday by the announcement of reciprocal tariffs on US trade partners on the basis of \u201ccountry-by-country\u201d examination,\u00a0a process slated to take a matter of weeks.”Every [US]\u00a0measure announced calls for an immediate response\u00a0when it arrives,” one official characterised the hawk response made during Wednesday’s call to Euronews. Negotiation should be secondary, this person said,\u00a0to avoid too many concessions being made to\u00a0the US administration.\u00a0For the doves,\u00a0\u201cit makes more sense to wait for the next measures and keep in touch with the Americans\u201d,\u00a0an EU\u00a0diplomat from\u00a0the dove camp told Euronews.These countries favour only very concrete retaliatory measures being considered, rather than reflecting the US approach of making up-front announcements – such as yesterday\u2019s US reciprocal tariff call – which require time and calculation to be realised.\u201cThe response must be swift but not precipitous,\u201d an official from a hawkish country\u00a0conceded.Hungary, whose Prime Minister Viktor Orban is a Trump ally, is adopting a \u201ccareful\u201d approach, another EU\u00a0diplomat said, preferring for no retaliatory to be taken before 12 March, when the tariffs on steel and aluminium will come into force. For its part Italy wants to maintain dialogue with the US before resorting to retaliatory duties,\u00a0the same diplomat\u00a0said.\u201cThe member states are united and determined to protect the European steel and aluminium sector,\u201d Polish trade minister Krzysztof Paszyk, said on Wednesday night, after chairing the ad-hoc trade ministers web exchange on behalf of Poland’s presidency of the EU Council.On Wednesday EU Trade Commissioner\u00a0Maros Sefcovic was warned by Howard Lutnick, set to be confirmed new US commerce secretary, that Trump\u2019s aim was an \u201coverhaul of US trade policy beyond the announced steel and aluminium tariffs,\u201d according\u00a0to a third EU diplomat. Sefcovic has said that the\u00a0bloc\u00a0will respond in a \u201cfirm and proportionate\u201d way.\u00a0In 2018 the EU hit back at tariffs on European steel (25%) and aluminium (10%) introduced during Trump’s first term as US president. It then retaliated with duties on \u20ac2.8 billion of US products, before a temporary truce was brokered under the Biden administration, in a deal which expires at the end of March.Since 2018,\u00a0it\u00a0has strengthened its arsenal of retaliatory measures\u00a0with\u00a0anti-coercion tools which includes barring the right to participate in public procurement tender procedures, or trade\u00a0in services and trade-related aspects of intellectual property rights.The EU and the US traded\u00a0\u20ac1.5 trillion in goods and services in 2023.ADVERTISEMENTAfter a meeting on Wednesday with Canada\u2019s Prime\u00a0Minister Justin Trudeau, President of the European Council Antonio Costa said in a tweet that \u201ctrade agreements are better than trade tariffs\u201d.The EU is also aiming to diversify its trading partnerships. A free trade deal was signed with the Mercosur countries – Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay – as well as one with Switzerland before Christmas. A renewed trade deal was reached with Mexico in January and negotiations have resumed with Malaysia. All of the EU Commissioners will travel together to India at the end of the month to negotiate a strategic partnership, including discussions on trade.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
