The announcement came after the World Trade Organization gave Washington a green light to impose tariffs on $7.5 billion worth of EU goods annually in the long-running case, a move that threatens to ignite a tit-for-tat transatlantic trade war. The measures would follow tariffs levied by the United States and China on hundreds of billions of dollars of each other's goods in their more than year-old trade war. https://www.thehindubusinessline.com/news/world/us-widens-trade-war-with-tariffs-on-european-planes-cheese-whisky/article29582028.ece
