The trade dispute over steel between the European Union and the United States has reignited as the incoming administration of President-elect Donald Trump prepares to reassess tariffs initially imposed during his previous term. Following a temporary truce under President Biden, both sides are set to reimpose tariffs next year, with Trump threatening additional tariffs of 10 to 20 percent on EU imports. The EU's trade commissioner emphasized that any new arrangements must comply with multilateral trade rules, while concerns grow over the impact of US tariffs on European manufacturers. The situation is further complicated by fears of increased competition from cheap Chinese imports.
