BRUSSELS — The European Union is warning U.S. President Donald Trump the bloc will retaliate if he imposes tariffs on EU goods. The European Commission, the EU’s executive body, said it “regrets” Trump’s decision to impose blanket tariffs on Canada, Mexico and China on Saturday. The U.S. president has vowed to take similar measures against the EU.

The European Union on Sunday blasted US President Donald Trump's sweeping tariffs on Canada, Mexico and China, and said the 27-nation bloc would hit back "firmly" if targeted. Brussels had until now indicated it hoped to avoid a trade conflict with Trump through negotiation.

Brussels' warning comes after Donald Trump told reporters he would 'absolutely' impose trade tariffs on the EU.

The European Union has treated us so terribly,” U.S. president complains, as Canada and Mexico get nailed with blitz of tariffs.

European Union awaits to see what tariffs Trump will levy Sir Keir Starmer says it is "early days" in his relationship with the new US president over trade - but he wants to see "strong trading relations".

The European Union has vowed to “respond firmly” if Donald Trump imposes “unfair” tariffs on the bloc amid threats that the US President will expand his trade war.

The European Union insisted Sunday it would retaliate "firmly" if US President Donald Trump hit it with tariffs, as Brussels decried his sweeping measures against Canada, Mexico and China.
