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 called on the United States to remove tariffs on steel derivative products, warning that the duties are inconsistent with current trade cooperation efforts and could strain transatlantic relations.
The appeal comes as part of ongoing discussions to renew the EU–US Steel and Aluminum Agreement, initially introduced to resolve disputes following former U.S. President Donald Trump’s Section 232 tariffs in 2018. While the U.S. partially lifted tariffs on primary steel imports from the EU, levies on steel derivatives such as wires, nails, and tubes remain in place.
EU trade officials argue that these tariffs unfairly penalize European manufacturers and disrupt supply chains at a time when global industries are facing cost pressures and overcapacity issues.
The European Commission has urged Washington to eliminate the remaining restrictions ahead of negotiations on a “Global Sustainable Steel Arrangement”, which aims to promote low-emission steel trade among allies.
Analysts say the EU’s renewed push underscores its focus on fair trade, climate alignment, and industrial competitiveness, as both sides seek to rebuild a balanced and sustainable transatlantic metals market.
