US President Donald Trump ordered an investigation into curbing steel imports amid “national security” fears in April.
Washington is expected to decide whether to impose tariffs this week.
The investigation has mainly been aimed at cheap imports from China but has sparked concern from European steel exporters who worry they will be targeted by the US crackdown.
The EU’s trade commissioner Cecilia Malmström says Brussels “will need to respond” if Mr Trump decides to impose tariffs on steel from the EU, China and other countries.
She told Politico: “We should be very, very clear …. [that] this is hitting the European Union very, very hard.”
Ms Malmström said the EU will have to analyse Washington’s decision before deciding what action to take.

EUROPEAN Union boss Jean-Claude Juncker this afternoon issued a jaw-dropping threat to the United States, saying he could campaign to break up the country in revenge for Donald Trump’s supportive comments about Brexit.
By NICK GUTTERIDGE | EXPRESS.CO.UK
In an extraordinary speech the EU Commission president said he would push for Ohio and Texas to split from the rest of America if the Republican president does not change his tune and become more supportive of the EU.

We finally have a president that will stand up to these EU criminals.
I love it !
OK
Well this is another example where Trump takes a hard stand for the security and benefit of the USA.
It has been so long since I have seen this, I think some will not see the importance.
Someone needs to flush the EU down the toilet. It is stinking up the room.

LOL! I missed that one. Texas? The EU Commission is delusional, but I digress.
What nerve. Why Ohio and Texas?
Probably because those are the only states whose names Juncker knows.
“Ms Malmström stressed the EU remains allies with the US despite the brewing trade war.
She said: “We are allies, we are friends. Almost all EU countries are members of NATO.”
Also, you Euros are going to start paying your fair share for your own defense, Toots.
And President Trump warned you about the ROP, Brussel Sprouts. No more free rides from Uncle Sam.
Hopefully the euros will target their retaliation against Silicon Valley, Hollywood, Wall Street and Route 128 Boston - all of Trump’s domestic enemies !
I think their rapefugee invasion is worse.
It’s actually amusing when trade blocs that run a SURPLUS with the US threaten “retaliation”.
Do they not realize it’s a war they cannot, but we can, win?
Silly b@stards. They really don’t want to go there.
The Trump admin has stated we need to preserve the domestic steel industry for Nation Security reasons...and he’s RIGHT.
Most of Europe can be blown away....
“...Probably because those are the only states whose names Juncker knows...”
This is his ploy to get them to join the EU. /s
We should move the regional military bases to Poland.
“... paying your fair share for your own defense, Toots...”
Exactly what I was thinking. Back in March with the Jean-Claude Juncker threats to break up America because of Brexit.
He then suffers another financial blow due to pulling out of the Climate Accord. All that lost revenue from carbon credits. He never thought a US president would go against the Pope’s recommendations on global climate.
Now Trump body slams them with this latest news about US steel and tariffs on EU steel.
I never knew the depths of our depravity until Trump started to correct all these major mistakes.
I wonder how many more bad deals President Trump will have to address before we can right the ship and get back on course.
Thank God, it was almost to late. We really were in bad shape. All that Hillary had to do was finish the job.
How’s our supply of iron ore? Does any Freeper know? Is Minnesota still in play? Would we have to bring it in from Alaska? I’m totally in the dark about it.
I always wondered why the US kept such a heavy presence in Germany after WWII.
It wasn’t just because of Russia, European Germans are absolutely out of their minds.
Merkel should be locked up in a mental institution where she can be taken care of by Jihadist migrants.
I bet she would love that. How can these people never learn.
Then you look at Sweden, they are literally showing us what Stockholm Syndrome is, and why they got labelled with the name.
Total insanity.
