The global trade drama just got hotter ☄️ The EU is hitting back with 26 billion euros ($28B) in counter-tariffs on U.S. goods starting next month, responding to American steel and aluminum tariffs. The move, announced March 12, has sparked fiery reactions in Spain 🇪🇸
CGTN crowdsourced opinions in Madrid, where locals called out the U.S. strategy. "The Americans made a serious mistake, thinking tariffs fix economic problems," fumed Juan Allende, one resident. Another, Nicolas, warned of lasting trust issues: "Rebuilding EU-U.S. ties could take years. Hopefully this pushes Europe to stand stronger." 🌍
The clash highlights growing tensions between longtime allies. With EU autonomy debates heating up, could this reshape global trade alliances? 👀 Stay tuned.
