EU to Implement Food Import Restrictions Similar to Trump's Policies, According to FT

The European Union is considering imposing restrictions on food imports to safeguard its farmers from unfair competition, according to the Financial Times. The European Commission is looking into implementing stricter import limits in line with the trade policy of former US President Donald Trump. Initial targets for these restrictions could involve US agricultural products, specifically soybeans treated with pesticides banned in the EU. During his presidency, Donald Trump spoke out against trade policies that restricted American products and retaliated by imposing tariffs in reaction to such trade barriers.
