据路透社本周援引欧盟外交官的消息，如果欧盟无法与美国总统特朗普达成贸易协议，包括法国和德国 在内的多个欧盟成员国正考虑对美国采取"ACI"措施。 这些措施可能包括：欧盟限制美国供应商进入欧盟市场，将其排除在欧盟公共采购的参与之外，以及对 商品和服务施加进出口限制，并限制对该地区的外国直接投资。 鉴于特朗普与欧盟的贸易争端已接近白热化，部署欧盟"贸易核选项"的时机也可能临近。 目前，白宫表示，如果在此之前未能达成贸易协议，它将于8月1日对欧盟进口商品征收30%的关税。白 宫表示该截止日期已确定，但指出贸易谈判在此日期之后仍可能继续。 随着美国对欧盟进口商品征收30%关税的威胁日益逼近，欧盟似乎正准备部署其"反经济胁迫工 具"（ACI），该工具被描述为旨在阻止贸易争端的"核选项"。 欧盟委员会指出，欧盟的应对措施必须"与其所抵消的损害成比例，并且必须具有针对性和临时性"，只 要感知到的胁迫持续存在，就将一直适用。 欧盟委员会采取行动也需要时间，该程序要求其在调查可能的胁迫案件后，请成员国确认其调查结果。 然后，需要合格多数（27个成员国中至少有15个）同意采纳ACI应对措施，甚至在这些措施付诸实施之 前，欧盟委员 ...
