German Chancellor Olaf Scholz also said the European Union would present a united front and “act together as the largest market in the world”.
“I deeply regret the US decision to impose tariffs on European steel and aluminium exports,“ European Commission president von der Leyen said in a statement.
EU trade chief Maros Sefcovic said it was “a lose-lose scenario”, warning that tariffs were “economically counterproductive”.
In one executive order, Trump said: “As of March 12, 2025, all imports of aluminum articles and derivative aluminium articles from Argentina, Australia, Canada, Mexico, EU countries, and the UK shall be subject to the additional ad valorem tariff.”
The US president indicated further additional customs duties could be on the way for cars, pharmaceuticals and computer chips.
In 2018, Trump slapped tariffs during his first presidency on steel and aluminium exports -- forcing the EU to respond with its own higher duties.
The American Chamber of Commerce to the EU also said on Tuesday that it opposed Trump’s decision, warning it would “have a wide-reaching and overwhelmingly negative impact on jobs, prosperity and security on both sides of the Atlantic”.
