Statement by President von der Leyen on announced US tariffs
European Commission
Statement
Feb 10, 2025
Brussels
I deeply regret the US decision to impose tariffs on European steel and aluminum exports.
Tariffs are taxes - bad for business, worse for consumers.
Unjustified tariffs on the EU will not go unanswered—they will trigger firm and proportionate countermeasures.
The EU will act to safeguard its economic interests. We will protect our workers, businesses and consumers.
