If negotiations break down, the EU is considering imposing export restrictions on the United States

Golden Ten Data on April 18, according to people familiar with the matter, the European Union is studying the implementation of export restrictions on some products of the United States as one of the possible means to retaliate against US President Trump for launching a full-scale trade war last month. Export restrictions will be used as a deterrent and will only be used if negotiations with the United States fail to reach a satisfactory outcome, the people said. The United States has now imposed tariffs on about 380 billion euros ($432 billion) of EU goods. If the EU imposes export restrictions, the trade dispute with the United States will escalate further, as Trump is likely to respond strongly.
