European ministers meet to forge strategy after surprise 30% US tariffs

European trade ministers are meeting in Brussels on Monday, following US President Donald Trump's surprise announcement of 30% tariffs on the European Union. The EU is America's biggest business partner and the world's largest trading bloc. The US decision will have repercussions for governments, companies and consumers on both sides of the Atlantic. We shouldn't impose countermeasures at this stage, but we should prepare to be ready to use all the tools in the toolbox, said Denmark's foreign minister, Lars Lkke Rasmussen, told reporters ahead of the meeting. So we want a deal, but there's an old saying: 'If you want peace, you have to prepare for war.' The tariffs, also imposed on Mexico, are set to start on Aug 1 and could make everything from French cheese and Italian leather goods to German electronics and Spanish pharmaceuticals more expensive in the US, and destabilise economies from Portugal to Norway. Meanwhile, Brussels decided to suspend retaliatory tariffs on US goods ..

India revises WTO retaliatory duties as US hikes steel, aluminium tariffs

India has revised its proposal to impose retaliatory duties under the WTO (World Trade Organisation) norms against the US over American tariffs on steel and aluminium in view of the further hike in duty by the Trump administration. The US first imposed 25 per cent tariffs on imports of aluminium, steel and derivative articles on March 12. Again, on June 3, the taxes were hiked to 50 per cent. "Without prejudice to its earlier notification to the Council for Trade in Goods and the Committee on Safeguards dated May 12, India reserves its right to adjust the products and tariff rates. This request is made in response to the increase in the tariff rate by the US from 25 per cent ad valorem to 50 per cent," the WTO has said in a communication on Wednesday. This was circulated among WTO members at the request of India. It said that the proposed suspension of concessions or other obligations can take the form of an increase in tariffs on selected products originating in the US. "The ...

No impact of 50% copper tariffs on Indian companies, says industry

The proposed 50 per cent import tariff on copper announced by US President Donald Trump will not have any impact on Indian companies as the country is copper-deficient, according to an industry official. Also, Coal and Mines Minister G Kishan Reddy on Wednesday said India will discuss the impact of US tariffs on copper. International Copper Association India Managing Director Mayur Karmarkar said, "India is a copper-deficient country, and its export, as such, is not significant. Again, of the total exports, the shipments to the US are just around 10,000 tonnes." The proposed duty, as a result, will not have any impact on the Indian firms, particularly as the domestic demand is extremely buoyant, given India's thrust on renewable energy, EVs, and a host of other copper-intensive sectors, Karmarkar said. US President Donald Trump on Tuesday announced 50 per cent tariffs on copper, after having implemented similar duties on steel and aluminium. A vision document released by G Kishan

Trump eyes trade deals before deadline, but hints at more time for talks

The Trump administration is stepping up pressure on trading partners to quickly make new deals before a Wednesday deadline, with plans for the United States to start sending letters Monday warning countries that higher tariffs could kick in August 1. That furthers the uncertainty for businesses, consumers and America's trading partners, and questions remain about which countries will be notified, whether anything will change in the days ahead and whether President Donald Trump will once more push off imposing the rates. Trump and his top trade advisers say he could extend the time for dealmaking but they insist the administration is applying maximum pressure on other nations. Kevin Hassett, director of the White House National Economic Council, told CBS' Face the Nation on Sunday that Trump would decide when it was time to give up on negotiations. The United States is always willing to talk to everybody about everything, Hassett said. There are deadlines, and there are things that a
