A new wave of U.S. tariffs—some as steep as 25%—is shaking up trade flows between the United States and Europe. Steel, aluminum, and a growing list of European goods are in the crosshairs. With fresh rounds of duties already announced, whispers of more to come—including on copper, semiconductors, and pharmaceuticals— and in spite of an announced pause of 90 days on reciprocal tariffs, the stakes are rising fast and companies on both sides of the Atlantic face growing uncertainty and operational risk.

Meanwhile, the European Union is weighing its countermeasures, setting the stage for a high-stakes economic chess match between two of the world’s largest trading partners. Beneath it all lies a broader geopolitical shift—where tariffs are instruments of global strategy in a world shaped by U.S.–EU and U.S.–China dynamics.

How should companies navigate this volatile trade landscape where policy shifts outpace planning cycles? How can businesses shield themselves from escalating costs, cross-border compliance challenges, and the threat of further disruption?
