The European Union is currently delaying the imposition of retaliatory tariffs on the US, despite recent announcements of new 30% tariffs by the US. Here’s why:
قراءة أقل* Preference for Negotiation: The primary reason is that the EU explicitly prefers a negotiated solution to trade disputes. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has stated that “this is now the time for negotiations” and that they “have always been clear that we prefer a negotiated solution.” They see the period until August 1 (the US’s proposed implementation date for the new tariffs) as a window for reaching a deal.
* Avoiding Escalation and Economic Harm: Imposing retaliatory tariffs would likely lead to a further escalation of trade tensions, which could significantly harm both the EU and US economies. Tariffs raise prices for consumers, disrupt supply chains, and create uncertainty for businesses, potentially leading to job losses. The EU is already concerned about slowing economic growth and doesn’t want to compound those challenges.
* Strategic Patience: Some analysts suggest that the EU is exercising strategic patience, aiming to avoid playing directly into the US’s hand by immediately retaliating. They may believe that a more measured approach could ultimately be more effective in securing a favorable outcome.
* Impact on the Global Economy: The EU and US have the largest trade relationship in the world. Any major disruption through tariffs could have significant negative ramifications for the global economy. The EU is likely considering these broader implications.
* Hoping for a Shift in US Domestic Politics: While not explicitly stated, some might hope that domestic pressures within the US (from businesses and consumers affected by the tariffs) could lead to a change in the US administration’s stance.
While the EU is currently delaying, they have also clearly stated that they are preparing “robust and proportionate countermeasures” if a negotiated solution cannot be reached by the August 1 deadline. This indicates that retaliation is still on the table as a last resort to protect EU interests if negotiations fail.
