00:00The European Union strongly regrets U.S. President Donald Trump's decision to double tariffs on steel and aluminium imports to 50 percent, a European Commission spokesperson said in a statement to media.
00:15It comes after Trump made the announcement to steel workers at a rally in Pennsylvania.
00:20At 50 percent, they can no longer get over the fence. So congratulations to everybody and to you for making a great deal. You just made a better deal, right?
00:33In a post on social media, Trump said the tariff hikes would go into effect on Wednesday.
00:38The European Commission spokesperson said the move undermines ongoing efforts to reach a negotiated solution and that the EU is prepared to impose countermeasures.
