European Union member states voted Wednesday to approve retaliatory tariffs on $23 billion in goods in response to President Trump’s 25% tariffs on imported steel and aluminum, as the largest U.S. trading partner described them as “unjustified and damaging.

President Donald Trump imposed sweeping 25% tariffs on all steel and aluminum imported into the United States Wednesday, a policy aimed at leveling the playing field for US manufacturing but a move that threatens to drive up prices on a broad range of consumer and industrial goods for Americans.

Imported steel and aluminum already subject to a 25% tariff will be excluded from the new tariffs President Trump announced Wednesday. Trump last month increased and expanded the tariffs on imported steel and aluminum that he began in 2018.
