EU Slaps 30% Tariffs on US Goods—August 1 Deadline Looms as Trade War Escalates
Europe just loaded the tariff cannon—and it’s aimed squarely at US exports.
The countdown begins: If no deal is reached by August 1, the EU will hammer American goods with a 30% surcharge. No warnings, no grace period—just cold, hard trade warfare.
Why it stings: This isn’t just posturing. That 30% figure? It’s a direct hit to profit margins, supply chains, and—of course—consumer wallets. Markets hate uncertainty, and this move reeks of it.
The finance jab: Meanwhile, hedge funds will probably short the chaos and call it 'risk management.' Classic.
Tick-tock. The clock’s running—and so are the contingency plans.
