5月31日，美国宣布对加拿大、墨西哥和欧盟征收25%的钢铁关税，征收10%的铝关税。关税于6月1日生效。该举动引起了一众欧盟国家的强烈愤怒，欧盟随即扬言要对美国“背叛盟友“的行为进行报复。
在酝酿了几周后，欧盟委员会贸易大司终于在今天宣布了具体措施：从本周五（6月22日）起，欧盟将正式对价值28亿欧元的美国进口商品增收关税，其中涉及的商品包括牛仔裤、摩托车和波本威士忌等。此外，在接下来三年内，欧盟会再对价值36亿欧元的美国商品增税。该举措会一直生效，直到双方在WTO的框架下解决问题。
值得注意的是，美国对欧盟征收的铝钢关税影响的商品价值高达64亿欧元。因此哪怕在接下来的3年中欧盟完全兑现了自己的报复计划，涉及到的美国进口商品价值总量也只和自己的损失持平。由此看来，欧盟的报复可谓是相当温柔。
除了欧盟以外，包括加拿大和墨西哥在内的美国“各路盟友”也都已经或即将出台报复措施。特朗普与全世界的搏斗正在进行。
