EU consolidating defensive posture and signaling willingness to retaliate, potentially fragmenting transatlantic alliance and strengthening EU internal cohesion against external pressure.
Echoes 2018-2019 US-China trade war and earlier Trump tariff cycles, where tit-for-tat measures escalated economic tensions without resolution, though EU-US relationship carries greater strategic alliance implications.
