The European Union is moving ahead with imposing tariffs on a wide range of American products—including chewing gum, motorcycles and peanut butter—in retaliation for U.S. steel and aluminum duties.
The tariffs target about 21 billion euros, or roughly $23 billion, of U.S. goods, marking the bloc’s first counterstrike against the Trump administration’s trade measures.
The tariffs, which member states voted to approve Wednesday, will land in three phases. Some are expected to take effect next week, with more in May and December. The EU said they could be suspended at any time if a deal with the U.S. is reached.
