On the 14th, Šefčovič, the European Commission's Commissioner for Trade and Economic Security, stated that should the US-EU trade negotiations collapse, the EU will retaliate by imposing tariffs on $72 billion worth of US imports. Earlier, on the 12th, US President Trump announced the imposition of a 30% tariff on EU imports effective August 1st. This decision provoked a vigorous response from the EU, which was actively pursuing a trade agreement with the US. Consequently, on the 14th, ministers from EU member states convened an emergency meeting in Brussels to deliberate on countermeasures against Trump's tariff policy and formulate an appropriate response.
