EU Readies Tariff List for Potential Trump Win

The possibility of renewed tariffs on EU dairy imports to the U.S. looms if Donald Trump is re-elected, as stated by the CEO of the U.S. National Milk Producers Federation. Trump aims to rebalance trade with the EU, citing previous tariffs imposed during his first term that affected major brands like Kerrygold. Meanwhile, the EU is preparing a list of U.S. goods for potential tariffs in response to Trump's threats, emphasizing a desire to avoid conflict while remaining ready to retaliate. Trump's views on tariffs are reinforced by his belief that they could encourage domestic manufacturing and protect American jobs. Additionally, the EU seeks common ground with the U.S. on issues like trade with China, as tensions escalate in the automotive sector. The situation reflects broader trade dynamics and the potential for significant shifts in U.S.-EU relations depending on the election outcome.
