德媒：欧盟拒绝美国对中印征100%关税提议！

Group 1 - The G7 finance ministers held an emergency video meeting where the US proposed imposing punitive tariffs of up to 100% on goods from China and India to pressure Russia, but the EU rejected this idea [1][3] - The EU is currently negotiating a free trade agreement with India, making the imposition of tariffs counterproductive to their interests [1][3] - The proposed 100% tariffs could lead to a doubling of prices for essential goods, significantly impacting the cost of living in Europe amid already high inflation [3][10] Group 2 - The EU's traditional approach to trade is to follow WTO rules and implement gradual measures, making the proposed drastic tariffs inconsistent with their usual practices [6][10] - There is a lack of consensus among EU member states regarding the imposition of tariffs, particularly from countries still reliant on Russian energy [6][10] - The EU is considering a new mechanism targeting individuals and entities that help Russia evade sanctions, which could be more flexible and focused than broad tariffs [8][10] Group 3 - The US aims to replace Russia as Europe's main energy supplier, increasing its LNG exports while pressuring Europe to buy American gas [3][11] - The EU's response to the US proposal reflects a pragmatic approach, prioritizing its economic stability and avoiding self-harm while still seeking to support Ukraine [10][11] - The EU is exploring targeted sanctions on the Russian oil export chain rather than broad tariffs, aiming for precision in their measures [10]
