The EU plans to fight back against Trump’s tariffs with cigarettes and ice cream

The EU is planning a creative response to Donald Trump's tariffs, targeting products from Republican-leaning states.
Items like ice cream, cigarettes, soybeans, and various other goods could face tariffs up to 25 per cent.
This targeted approach aims to impact regions with strong Trump support, applying pressure on the US president.
The EU previously offered a "zero-for-zero" tariff deal on industrial goods, but Trump rejected it, demanding significant energy purchases.
This tariff strategy comes after the US imposed a 20 per cent blanket tariff on all EU imports and a 25 per cent tariff on automotive imports.
