The European Commission has labeled the US decision to raise steel tariffs to 50% as "reckless," warning of imminent countermeasures. Brussels officials argue the MOVE will harm transatlantic consumers and businesses alike, undermining global economic stability. A spokesperson condemned the tariff hike as detrimental to ongoing negotiations, stating it "adds further uncertainty to the global economy."

Former President Trump defended the protectionist measure during a Pennsylvania rally, claiming it would bolster US steel producers. His simultaneous accusations against China for allegedly violating trade agreements further inflamed tensions. The dual-pronged trade offensive signals escalating protectionism that could Ripple through commodity markets and industrial supply chains.
