EU Faces Pressure to Unleash Trade “Bazooka” Against Trump Tariffs
In response to potential trade disputes, the EU is considering various responses, including the Anti-Coercion Instrument (ACI). While some member states advocate for exploring all available tools, including the ACI, others, such as Ireland and Italy, expressed concerns about escalating tensions with the United States. A recent poll revealed that only a minority of EU ministers explicitly supported using the full range of options. This highlights a division within the EU regarding the appropriate response to potential US trade actions.
