Trump Imposes 15% Tariff Floor on EU Imports, Potential Ripple Effects on Tech and Blockchain
Donald TRUMP has declared a hardline trade stance, setting a 15% minimum tariff on EU imports to the US ahead of critical talks with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen. The move signals a broader economic confrontation that may extend to strategic sectors like digital technology and blockchain.
Pharmaceuticals remain exempted from the new trade terms, but the policy could disrupt transatlantic supply chains and investment flows. Market analysts suggest the tariffs may accelerate EU efforts to develop sovereign tech infrastructure—potentially impacting crypto-native projects reliant on cross-border collaboration.
