EU targets US aircraft and car exports in new list of potential tariffs

Move would hit Boeing, as Brussels also starts consultation on possible litigation over Trump's blanket 20% tariffs

The EU is considering imposing tariffs on US aircraft and car exports in a fresh attempt to persuade Donald Trump to drop his current and proposed tariffs against the EU.

If acted up on they will hit Boeing hard but also include further categories of US exports including chemicals, electrical equipment including cameras, health-related products and some foods such as sweet potato and nuts.
