00:00As of this morning, the United States is applying a 25% tariff on imports of steel and aluminum.

00:14We deeply regret this measure.

00:17Tariffs are taxes, they are bad for business and worse for consumers.

00:23They are disrupting supply chains, they bring uncertainty for the economy, jobs are at stake, prices up.

00:32Nobody needs that on both sides, neither in the European Union nor in the United States.

00:39The European Union must act to protect consumers and business.

00:45The countermeasures we take today are strong but proportionate.

00:51As the United States are applying tariffs worth 28 billion dollars,

00:57we are responding with countermeasures worth 26 billion euros.

01:03This matches the economic scope of the tariffs of the United States.

01:08Our countermeasures will be introduced in two steps, starting with April 1st and fully in place as of April 13th.

01:19In the meantime, we will always remain open to negotiations.

01:24We firmly believe that in a world fraught with geoeconomic and political uncertainties,

01:33it is not in our common interest to burden our economies with such tariffs.
