European Public Strongly Supports Retaliatory Tariffs Against U.S.

A new poll reveals that a significant majority of Europeans support retaliatory tariffs against the U.S., as tensions escalate over Trump’s trade war measures. Over two-thirds of respondents in Germany, Europe’s economic powerhouse, favor taking action against American levies on goods produced in the EU. This sentiment is shared across other major economies on the continent, with Italians showing less support. The poll by YouGov highlights growing concern over potential economic impacts from U.S. tariffs ahead of a planned announcement expected to come into effect this week.
