A 10-12.5% tariff goes into effect on 60 countries that ship 99% of America’s imports at midnight tonight

[william]

The policy replaces expiring temporary 10% global tariffs under Section 301 authority, with lower 10% rates for some partners like the EU and Canada, and 12.5% for others including China and India.

"for no reason at all"

Well, Trump had to do a simple google search to know why Commission fines Google €890 million for breaches of the Digital Markets Act (regardless of if he agrees or not with the reason)


I don't see how he could force the EU to reverse the penalty tho, the US administration has no legal power in the EU (and same in the other way)

There is no legal coercion in either direction. It’s just market and penalty push backs both can and do use.

The DSA is used to influence and penalize US platforms. As well as potentially being a piggybank.
So there’s nothin unusual or particularly unjust for the US to complain about EU policies that penalize US platforms.
So an American admin telling the EU that we believe the DSA is unfair or unjustly penalizes segments is also not an unreasonable thing for us to do.
