The day after the announcement of new US tariffs on car imports, the European Commission stated on Thursday that it is awaiting the US's reciprocal tariffs, set to take effect next week, before deciding on any countermeasures.
“If necessary, we will deliver firm, proportionate robust, and well calibrated and timely response to unfair and counterproductive measures from the US,” Commission spokesperson Olof Gill said, adding that he cannot tell the “exact timing” of EU actions until US tariffs come into force. US tariffs on cars are due to be implemented on 2 April.
