are some of the u.s. products that could be affected if the e.u. follows through on a threat to retaliate against trump's proposed import tariffs. the us president has tried to slap a twenty five percent levy on imported steel and ten percent on aluminum it's a move that could put thousands of e.u. jobs in the industries that risk no surprise then that new officials have called transplant deeply unjust. paean commission is calling for collective action in response. we should can make it clear you opinion statement against this. announced by the way the states because it's not related to dumping subsidies cases is really to close a market of united states and this is the ruling of a double kyoto and therefore we need to reaction from. the e.u.
