On the one hand, the U.S. removed tariffs on certain goods such as Greek and German cheeses as well as on British biscuits. On the other, it introduced new duties on other products including jams from France and Germany.<\/p>\n
By changing targets without increasing tariffs, Washington managed to please some countries, such as Italy, while upsetting others.<\/p>\n
The decision was taken under a \u201ccarousel\u201d trade provision that requires the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) to review its list of retaliatory duties on $7.5 billion worth of EU and U.K. goods every six months.<\/p>\n
\nContrary to other member countries, Italy welcomed the U.S.s decision and saw it as a victory for diplomacy in the dispute.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Brussels welcomed Washingtons decision not to escalate the trade war.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Commission acknowledges the decision of the U.S. not to exacerbate the ongoing aircraft dispute by increasing tariffs on European products,\u201d a spokesperson said Thursday. EU Trade Commissioner Phil Hogan said<\/a> he would keep working \u201cto find a negotiated solution to ongoing trade irritants.\u201d<\/p>\n
But Frances Trade Minister Franck Riester criticized<\/a> Washington for maintaining tariffs, which he called \u201cunjustified.\u201d The countrys Economy Minister Bruno Le Maire stressed the need to find a rapid settlement to the Airbus-Boeing dispute while calling on<\/a> the EU to retaliate if an agreed solution is not possible.<\/p>\n
Some also saw the move to increase the balance of tariffs for France and Germany as a way of punishing those countries for pushing policies that Washington has repeatedly railed against: Paris pursuit of a digital services tax that would hit big U.S. tech companies, and Berlins failure to meet a NATO defense spending target as well as the controversial German-Russian gas pipeline project, Nord Stream 2<\/a>.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe shift in burden away from Greece and the U.K. and onto France and Germany is a classic for the Trump administration,\u201d said Lucio Miranda, president of consultancy ExportUSA.<\/p>\n
Donald Trump is \u201cshowing a friendly face to the U.K. in the midst of the negotiations for a bilateral trade deal\u201d while sending a stern reminder to France and Germany about their policies, Miranda said in an email.<\/p>\n
The Spanish government, meanwhile, said in a statement that it \u201crejects\u201d the tariff list decision and \u201ctrusts that an agreement can be reached that returns trading relations to normal between both countries, which have mutual economic interests.\u201d<\/p>\n
Britains Trade Secretary Liz Truss said<\/a> she is stepping up talks with the U.S. to lift the tariffs as they continue to weigh on industries such as single-malt Scotch whisky, cheese and construction equipment. Truss said that while she welcomes biscuits like Scottish shortbread being removed from the list, the remaining tariffs continue to \u201cdamage industry and livelihoods on both sides of the Atlantic.\u201d<\/p>\n
Contrary to other member countries, Italy welcomed the U.S.s decision and saw it as a victory for diplomacy in the dispute. Ivan Scalfarotto, Italys undersecretary for trade, said<\/a> he was \u201csatisfied\u201d with the update and stressed that Rome had been in constant dialogue with Washington over the past few weeks.<\/p>\n
The German government had not released an official response as of Thursday afternoon.<\/p>\n
It could have been worse<\/h3>\n
Unsurprisingly, the decision left worst-hit industries unhappy, while others breathed a sigh of relief.<\/p>\n
The jam industry \u2014 which is now hit by new tariffs \u2014 complained that Washingtons move specifically targeted France and Germany.<\/p>\n
\u201cFrance and Germany are some of the biggest [jam] producing and exporting countries. Its not a coincidence that the U.S. picked those,\u201d said a spokesperson for Profel, a European association representing French and German jam processors.<\/p>\n
\nEuropes largest industry lobby BusinessEurope also condemned the U.S. decision.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Frances wine export lobby also slammed the decision to maintain 25 percent tariffs on certain wines and called on French and European authorities to compensate the industry for the damages it is suffering.<\/p>\n
