Then comes machinery, followed by cars and car parts; chemicals and plastics; medical devices and equipment; electrical equipment; and industrial goods — all of which fall into multibillion-euro categories.

The total figure is down from an earlier proposal to impose retaliatory tariffs on €95 billion of U.S. goods.

The European Commission presented the new hit list on Monday after Trump dramatically raised the trade stakes last weekend by threatening to impose a 30 percent blanket tariff on EU exports from Aug. 1 if no trade deal is reached.

The Commission also explains to EU countries that its rationale for targeting U.S. products is based on several criteria, according to the document.

First, it states, there is a “need to rebalance/level the playing field in light of the U.S. tariffs affecting EU exports to the U.S.” It then takes into account whether there is “availability of alternative sources of supply from outside or inside the EU.” Finally, it includes “products where the risk of relocation is high.”

EU member countries would have to formally approve the measures for them to take effect. A vote hasn’t yet been called after the bloc’s trade ministers met earlier on Monday and backed the Commission’s negotiating strategy.

The European Union is meanwhile trying to strike a careful balance between folding and fighting back against Trump’s latest tariff threats. It has postponed a first round of measures, covering €21 billion in U.S. goods, until Aug. 6 to allow time to negotiate a trade agreement.
