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.
