E.U. threatens tariffs on aircraft, car parts if U.S. trade talks fail

The European Union has threatened to impose tariffs on U.S. aircraft, car parts, and other products if negotiations with Washington fail, as the bloc seeks to pressure President Trump toward a trade deal. The EU unveiled a list of $100 billion in targeted products, which could change after consultations with its 27 member states. U.S.-based companies like Boeing and bourbon manufacturers are among those at risk, while the bloc also proposed tariffs on cars and agricultural goods. The pause in U.S. tariffs, including a 20% blanket levy on certain products, has given the EU a moment to advance its strategy ahead of potential conflict.
