As of April 2025, the EU’s tariff countermeasures hit U.S. imports like bourbon and steel but spared pharmaceuticals and semiconductors to avoid disrupting vital supply chains. With U.S. tariffs threatening €85 billion in EU exports, including €46.3 billion in autos, the bloc weighs whether exemptions safeguard its economy or weaken its stance against Washington.

Yes, and broaden exemptions to protect supply chains
@ISIDEWITH2 minggu2W
Yes, but only if the U.S. reciprocates with exemptions
@ISIDEWITH2 minggu2W
No, exemptions dilute the EU’s trade leverage
@ISIDEWITH2 minggu2W
No, all U.S. goods should face tariffs to ensure equity
