Donald Trump vows retaliation against EU tariffs: 'Won't be abused any longer'

We´re going to take back our wealth, and we´re going to take back a lot of the companies that left,

he added

I think the markets are going to soar when they see what's happening,

We've been abused for a long time, and we will be abused no longer,

Trump said during a meeting with Irish Prime Minister Micheal Martin

These tariffs, along with the EU's announced countermeasures, will only harm jobs, prosperity and security on both sides of the Atlantic,

warned Malte Lohan, CEO of the American Chamber of Commerce to the EU

Additional US tariffs... are a lose-lose for both sides of the Atlantic,

said Markus J Beyrer of EU-wide lobby group BusinessEurope

For the first time, these rebalancing measures will be implemented in full. Tariffs will be applied on products ranging from boats to bourbon to motorbikes,

the commission said

We deeply regret this measure,

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said in a statement Wednesday

We jointly identified the few areas that would allow us to move forward by fostering a mutual benefit,

he told reporters in Brussels

We deeply regret this measure. Tariffs are taxes. They are bad for business, and even worse for consumers. These tariffs are disrupting supply chains. They bring uncertainty for the economy,

said European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen

For example, if it came to a situation where we had to go further, digital services or intellectual property could be included,

spokesperson Mao Ning said at a media briefing

President Trump has once again used the leverage of the American economy, which is the best and biggest in the world, to deliver a win for the American people,

White House spokesperson Kush Desai said in a statement

We can’t rely on the U.S. anymore — it’s a new reality. So we have to be tough hitting back, that’s the only medicine,

one EU diplomat said

I understand the countermeasures the EU is expected to reveal tomorrow need to be stronger than the currently suspended rebalancing tariffs,

the second diplomat said

They will probably go full sledgehammer because they are so fed up with Trump,

said a European steel industry representative, commenting on the European Commission’s expected response

Wow we’ve a great result, we’ve no stinking fish on the table,

one EU official joked at the prospect
