This win sets the stage for President Trump to deploy $7.5 billion in countervailing duties against products from the EU

Oh yeah outstanding, who really believes that would result in the E.U. paying the penalty.........anyone? Tariffs, like increased taxes and fees on businesses are simply passed on to the end consumer, so in this case Americans would get screwed twice...........outstanding you say? Make the bastards pay the penalty in full to the U.S. treasury, now that would be an outstanding result!

Only consumers who buy tariffed products pay the voluntary tax.

Consumer pay no tariff on all other products.

What’s funny is that people say consumers pay the price and that producers aren’t hurt.

So, you would be happy with every country in the world having a 500% tariff on all US goods, because it only hurts their people and not US producers?

I think not.
