U.S. President Donald Trump has promised to roll out taxes on imports from other countries on Wednesday .

He’s vowed to impose “reciprocal” tariffs to match the duties that other countries charge on US products.

Europe has not started this confrontation. We do not necessarily want to retaliate, but if it is necessary, we have a strong plan to retaliate and we will use it,” EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen says.
