Die angedrohten und zum Teil auch bereits umgesetzten Zölle auf Einfuhren, egal ob nun aus Asien, der EU oder auch nur aus den Anrainern, zieht Gegenstrafzölle nach sich bzw. zumindest droht man sie ebenso an. Irgendwie drängt sich der Verdacht auf, dass man dies in Washington allerdings ignoriert. Dabei würden bei einem offenen Zollkrieg alle Seiten verlieren. Gleichwohl, die USA sind sehr stark, und sie können sicherlich einen Handelsstreit separat mit der EU oder China führen. Ich frage mich nur, was wird, wenn sich Handelskriege, die zeitgleich und parallel ablaufen, mit China, Japan, der EU und Mexiko und Kanada unisono anbahnen. Diese Konstellation würden auch die USA nicht alleine "stemmen" können, ohne das es gravierende Auswirkungen gibt...

The US has slapped tariffs on steel and aluminium imports from its allies the EU, Canada and Mexico - but don't think they'll take it without a fight. All three have already announced retaliatory measures as the US follows its new policy, which has been attacked as "protectionism, pure and simple" by the EU. [...]
Canada plans "trade-restrictive countermeasures" on $16.6bn ($12.8bn) of US goods, to come into effect on 1 July. The country will impose a 25% tariff on assorted US steel products, including railway tracks, piping and steel sheets. But Canada also plans a 10% tariff on more varied items: Yoghurt, soya sauce, strawberry jam, "mixed condiments", pizza and quiche, orange juice, whiskies, coffee, soups and waters. [...]
European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker said he planned to take the US to the World Trade Organization over the American tariffs, a policy he called "totally unacceptable". Meanwhile, EU Trade Commissioner Cecilia Malmstrom called the US measures a "dangerous game" and said the EU would not "stay silent". The bloc released a list of tariffs in March - 10 pages of US goods it plans to target: Bourbon whiskey, orange juice and cranberries, jeans, T-shirts and tobacco, corn and other agricultural products, steel and industrial products. [...]
America's southern neighbour also swiftly released a list of products on which it would impose tariffs, "up to an amount comparable to the level of damage" of US tariffs. Economy Minister Ildefonso Guajardo said in a radio interview that the measures would target US products from districts that would cause political difficulties for Mr Trump. He said levies would be placed on the following: Flat steel, hot and cold foil products, and piping, cold cuts, pork chops and sausages [...] lamps.
