EU Strikes Back with Tariffs: French Residents Criticize U.S. Trade Policy 🌍⚖️

The U.S.-EU trade spat is heating up again! 🔥 Starting April 1, the EU will slap tariffs on $28B of American goods 🚢 in response to U.S. steel and aluminum tariffs. CGTN spoke to Parisians about the move—and many echoed the same view: Trump-era policies risk global chaos.

💬 'Trade is like a friend group—everyone loses if you start random fights,' said Christophe, a local resident. 'The U.S. tariffs mess with the whole world, including themselves.' Others stood firmly behind the EU’s countermeasures, calling it a necessary defense for fair play.

Why the drama? 🌐 The EU’s tariffs will roll out in two waves, ramping up by April 13. Experts say this tit-for-tat could hurt supply chains, consumer prices, and even climate goals. But for now, the message from Europe is clear: solidarity over submission. 🤝
