The European Union (EU) has announced that they are imposing tariffs on $4 billion worth of U.S. goods in retaliation for U.S. subsidies given to aircraft maker Boeing. This move comes after the World Trade Organization ruled in favor of the EU in a long-running dispute over subsidies provided to Boeing by the U.S. government. The tariffs, which will affect a range of U.S. products including tractors, frozen fish, and spirits, are set to take effect in the coming months. This escalation in trade tensions between the EU and the U.S. comes at a time when global trade is already facing significant challenges due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
