Reuters had this report on the response from the EU to Trump’s move to double tariffs.

In brief, the European Commission announced on Monday that it will push hard this week for the United States to scale back or scrap tariffs, despite Donald Trump’s pledge to double duties on steel and aluminium imports to 50%.

European Trade Commissioner Maros Sefcovic is set to meet U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer at an OECD event in Paris on Wednesday, while Commission officials will also hold talks with their U.S. counterparts in Washington during the week.
