Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said unjustified tariffs would prompt "proportionate and decisive countermeasures", echoing her vow on Tuesday of a "firm and proportionate" response to Trump's decision to impose tariffs on all steel and aluminum imports.

The European Union’s executive branch has vowed to “take firm and immediate action” against U.S. President Donald Trump’s imposition of tariffs on steel and aluminum.

The European Commission said on Friday it would react "firmly and immediately" against tariff increases resulting from U.S. President Donald Trump's proposed reciprocal trade policy, which it labelled unjustified and a step in the wrong direction.

Donald Trump wants tariffs. The European Union (EU) wants payback. The European Commission President, Ursula von der Leyen, said Friday that the bloc will retaliate immediately if the United States imposes global reciprocal tariffs.

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said during the Munich security conference Friday the European Union will respond if the United States imposes reciprocal tariffs.

The European Commission said on Friday it saw no justification for U.S. President Donald Trump's proposed "reciprocal" trade policy and would react "firmly and immediately" against tariff increases resulting from it.

The EU will always protect European businesses, workers and consumers from ‘unjustified tariff measure’, the European Union Commission said on Friday. It promised to take immediate action against the tariffs imposed on its exports.
