Dutch ministers ramp up controls on weapons exports to Israel.

The Dutch government will now assess exports of military equipment and dual-use goods to Israel on a case-by-case basis, following the collapse of a ceasefire in the Middle East.

“This is desirable given the security situation in Israel, the Palestinian Territories and the broader region,” said the trade and foreign ministers.

On #tariffs:
"Retaliation by other countries will lead to a fall in US exports. In the 1930s, after the Smoot-Hawley tariffs were imposed, retaliation led to a 33% fall in US exports and spiralling down of international trade […].
"A tariff trade war would hit the US economy harder than Smoot-Hawley, since trade is now three times as big a share of GDP as it was in 1929, and was 75% of GDP in 2024 – versus roughly 6% in 1929."

70% of EU exports to be impacted by tariffs.

EU officials have said some €380 billion worth of EU exports will be hit by US President Donald Trump's array of tariffs, amounting to some 70% of all EU exports to the US.

The bloc will imminently retaliate against Trump's 25% tariffs on steel and aluminium, but will take time to analyse the impact of last night’s range of reciprocal tariffs before deciding on further countermeasures.
