The European Commission said Europe was prepared to retaliate against President Donald Trump's plan to double tariffs on imported steel and aluminium.
Trump announced on Friday during a visit to a steel plant that he would raise tariffs on imported steel to 50 percent from 25 percent, intensifying his global trade war. He later included aluminium imports into his tariff policy.
The European Commission said it "strongly" regrets Trump's plan, adding it undermines efforts to reach a negotiated solution. It said his move adds further uncertainty to the global economy.
A spokesperson noted that the European Union had paused its countermeasures to create space for continued negotiations.
