BRUSSELS - European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen on Feb 11 vowed "firm and proportionate countermeasures" in response to US President Donald Trump's decision to impose tariffs on all steel and aluminium imports, escalating fears of a trade war.
Mr Trump signed proclamations late on Feb 10 to raise tariffs on all steel and aluminium imports to 25 per cent without exceptions or exemptions.
A White House official said that the measures would take effect on March 4.
Dr von der Leyen said in a statement that she deeply regretted the US decision, adding that tariffs were taxes that were bad for business and worse for consumers.
