US President, Donald Trump has unveiled a sweeping tariff plan targeting the EU and other trading partners. Here’s what Irish and EU companies need to know: 🔸 20% tariffs on ALL imports from the EU to the US. 🔸 UK facing a 10% tariff rate. 🔸 Trump claims the EU should actually be charged 37%, calling current rates “discounted”.
