India–US Trade Tensions Rise Over Steel and Auto Tariffs NMDC Limited reports a 38% drop in Q4 FY24 consolidated net profit RINL to Raise $23 Million Through Land Sales Amid Crisis
The European Union (EU) has announced a new round of tariffs and trade measures to safeguard its domestic steel industry, echoing protectionist steps previously taken by the U.S. under former President Donald Trump.
The move comes amid a global steel surplus and rising imports from countries such as China, Turkey, and India, which European producers claim are selling below market rates. The European Commission stated that these actions are necessary to “preserve fair competition and prevent market distortion.”
Under the new policy, the EU will extend import safeguards including quotas and additional tariffs on certain steel products through 2028. These measures are intended to give local producers breathing space as they transition toward low-carbon and green steel technologies.
Industry groups such as EUROFER have welcomed the decision, saying it will protect thousands of industrial jobs and help sustain Europe’s long-term decarbonisation goals. However, trading partners have warned that the move could escalate trade tensions and disrupt global steel supply chains.
The announcement underscores the EU’s growing resolve to defend its industrial base while balancing its climate commitments with economic competitiveness.
