U.S. Plans to Hit EU With Steel, Aluminum Tariffs
The move, which has been threatened for months, is almost certain to draw a response from the EU

WASHINGTON—The Trump administration, unable to win concessions from European Union counterparts ahead of a Friday deadline, is planning to make good on a threat to apply tariffs on European steel and aluminum, according to people familiar with the matter.
The administration is expected to make an announcement as early as Thursday.
The move, which has been threatened for months, is almost certain to draw a response from the EU, which has threatened to retaliate with its own tariffs on such American products as motorcycles, jeans and bourbon.
President Donald Trump announced in March global tariffs of 25% on imported steel, and 10% on aluminum, based on national security concerns. The White House delayed implementation for some countries, giving those trading partners a chance to offer concessions to avoid the tariffs.

Awesome. But will this cause Kudlow to resign?

Would be huge for a number of important states and a hit for certain states like Louisiana due to our Port business. Quite honestly the Port business in Louisiana needs to be reexamined anyway and this would force it into operating more aggressively.

The EU is a disunified and crumbling mess on the verge of total failure.

If I was Trump, the first thing I'd do after the EU response is to pull every US BMD fitted warship out and send them home to the US. I don't see a need to have our $2.2 billion destroyers provide missile defense on a region that grosses $18 trillion a year and screws us on trade deals.

Europeans don't like admitting that there are consequences for their continent and lack of unity nearly destroying the world, twice.
If you don't want Daddy in charge, then don't start wars with one another where we have to bail your arse out with our resources and rebuild your countries. Sheesh, We even rebuilt and unified the Nazis. Zero gratitude.
PS: ^^"this is exactly why we hate Americans"^^ too fricking bad, these are the consequences of your ancestors acting like bloodthirsty animals.

Been Sasse melting. He said "tariffs are the reason we had a great depression." He went on to say "Make America Great Again should not mean making America 1929 again."

the Trump admin is a bad joke, they have no clue what they are doing and are just winging.
Trump even mentioned to Macron a few weeks back he was intending on banning German luxury car imports.
Trumps a dumbass and any of you that support this fricking clown are dumbasses right along side him.

Trade wars are good, and easy to win! But we aren't in one.
