The European Commission (EU Commission) is set to unveil its roadmap for responding to US tariff policies early next week. This announcement follows ongoing concerns about potential trade disputes and the EU's commitment to avoiding a full-blown trade war. According to EU Commission spokesperson Olof Gill, the plan will be discussed with member states and industry stakeholders before final measures are proposed and voted upon. The EU's current stance emphasizes de-escalation and a preference for constructive dialogue. The EU hopes the United States will engage in meaningful discussions to resolve the tariff issue amicably. The upcoming announcement will detail specific strategies the EU intends to employ if these discussions prove unsuccessful. Further details regarding specific sectors or products targeted by the US tariffs, and the EU's potential counter-measures, will likely be revealed next week. ```
