BRUSSELS, April 6 (Reuters) - European Union countries will seek to present a united front in the coming days against U.S. President Donald Trump's tariffs, likely approving a first set of targeted countermeasures on up to $28 billion of U.S. imports from dental floss to diamonds.
Such a move would mean the EU joining China and Canada in imposing retaliatory tariffs on the United States in an early escalation of what some fear will become a global trade war, making goods more expensive for billions of consumers and pushing economies around the world into recession.

By, in the scone place, raising Tarrifs on all our goods they don’t import in the first place because of their tariffs.
Let’s just cut our market off to them completely. How long would they survive under those circumstances?
I’m surprised that the United States is the world’s second largest diamond exporter.
I searched and couldn’t find a single sentence in that drivel that mentioned the tariffs and taxes already in place on US imports, and that have been for decades. Guess I missed it somewhere in roto-reuters text.
“The EU wants to retaliate.”
The European Union has no rightful claim to retaliate against the United States or our interests.
I’m surprised that the United States is the world’s second largest diamond exporter.
Like a full-on embargo? Can’t say I’m opposed.
These fu###ers have been F-ing us for years and now they are up in arms, “how dare we”, just like the rats and thier zombies here have been stealing the American taxpayers blind, now we find out how bad and we are going to stop it and hopefully indict these parasites and they to are up in arms, “how dare we” stop the pillaging.
Trump can paralyze the EU by simply misgendering them.
Why doesn’t the EU pull out of NATO?
That’ll show us.
Yep, for the EU. Then they do not have to worry about the 10% tariffs, do they. 😋
Anyway, my only interest ina ything from the EU is BMW and Mercedes.
At the end, I suspect only the US vs some EU countries.
While the EU seeks to maintain a united front, RINOs in Congress seek to undermine ours.
We should respond with banning all automobiles, vehicle parts and wine manufactured in Europe.

Now that there is really a funny one!
They can’t cut their tarrifs bc that’s how they afford their generous welfare state to all the illegal immigrants over there. This would disrupt the NWO bigly and I think that’s one of the things trump and company are doing, destroying the liberal NWO
The EU wants company to gang up on Trump.
Nobody wants to stick their neck out.
Our enemies aren’t united.
We need to be to take advantage of that.
