The\u00a0first part is the Commission\u2019s\u00a0lists of countermeasures<\/a>\u00a0that would be worth a combined \u20ac26 billion to respond to Trump\u2019s steel and aluminum tariffs imposed last month, in consultation with EU member countries and businesses.<\/p>\n

On top of that, Brussels will thus respond in one strike to Trump\u2019s reciprocal and cars tariffs.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Trump is due to make his\u00a0tariff announcement<\/a>, which he has styled as U.S. \u201cLiberation Day,\u201d on Wednesday at 4 p.m. in Washington D.C. That\u2019s 10 p.m. in Brussels.\u00a0Just last week, Trump announced he would impose a 25 percent tariffs on foreign-made cars. Those tariffs also kick in on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

While details remain sketchy, Brussels expects Trump\u00a0to announce tariffs<\/a>\u00a0as high as 20-25 percent on all EU exports to the U.S. \u2014 a level of protectionism unseen since the Great Depression of the 1930s that threatens to disrupt global trade, hit economic output in America\u2019s trading partners, and\u00a0raise the cost of goods<\/a>\u00a0for U.S. consumers.<\/p>\n

Trade Commissioner Maro\u0161 \u0160ef\u010dovi\u010d is due to meet with EU ambassadors on Friday over lunch to plan next steps, according to two EU diplomats, ahead of a meeting of the bloc\u2019s trade ministers in Luxembourg next Monday.<\/p>\n

Gill declined to give more details on the timing of the EU response, stressing it would come at an \u201cappropriate time.\u201d He also said there was no plan at present for \u0160ef\u010dovi\u010d to visit Washington to try and strike an agreement with the Trump administration. \u0160ef\u010dovi\u010d came away empty-handed from a six-hour meeting with top U.S. trade officials last week.<\/p>\n
