EU Trade Commissioner Maroš Šefčovič presented a list of US products worth €72 billion for retaliatory tariffs at a meeting in Brussels, in response to US threats of 30% tariffs on EU imports.

The anti-coercion instrument, a significant trade defense tool, is currently not being considered for use.
