當地時間2月11日，歐盟委員會主席馮德萊恩表示，對美國決定對歐洲鋼鐵和鋁出口征收關稅深感遺憾。關稅是稅收負擔，不利于企業，更不利于消費者。對歐盟不公正的關稅不會被置之不理，將對美國關稅采取堅決和相稱的反制措施。歐盟將會行動起來維護自身的經濟利益，將保護歐盟的工人、企業和消費者。
以下為英文原文：
Statement by President von der Leyen on announced US tariffs
I deeply regret the US decision to impose tariffs on European steel and aluminum exports.
Tariffs are taxes - bad for business, worse for consumers.
Unjustified tariffs on the EU will not go unanswered—they will trigger firm and proportionate countermeasures.
The EU will act to safeguard its economic interests. We will protect our workers, businesses and consumers.
