BRUSSELS — The European Union is considering whether to suspend for 90 days its tariff counter measures on €21 billion of U.S. exports in response to President Donald Trump’s steel and aluminum tariffs, four EU diplomats told POLITICO. The idea was discussed by European ambassadors in an emergency meeting on Thursday morning, called on the heels of a U-turn by Trump late Wednesday on his “reciprocal” tariffs. Commission President Ursula von der Leyen announced it in a post via X.

The move throws up U.S. trade barriers that haven’t been this high since the Great Depression of the 1930s.
