ChainCatcher news, according to Jinshi reports, European Commission Vice President Šefčovič stated that the EU will impose the first batch of tariffs on U.S. imports starting from April 15, and the second batch of tariffs starting from May 15. The EU is imposing tariffs on the U.S. in response to the Trump administration's decision to impose tariffs on steel, aluminum, and automobiles, as well as a 20% uniform tariff on other goods.

In addition, the EU will establish an import monitoring task force to oversee the potential diversion of goods due to U.S. tariffs. European Commission President von der Leyen said, "This is a significant turning point for the U.S." "Nevertheless, we are always ready to negotiate with the U.S."
