EU says could target 72 bn euros of US goods if tariff talks fail

The European Commission on Monday put forward a new list of US goods worth 72 billion euros ($84 billion) that could be targeted by EU levies if tariff talks with Washington fail.

The bloc's trade chief, Commissioner Maros Sefcovic, said the proposal, "accounting for some 72 billion euros' worth of US imports", was shared with EU trade ministers meeting in Brussels.
