    Across the Atlantic, the European Union will raise tariffs on American
    beef, poultry, bourbon and motorcycles, bourbon, peanut butter and
    jeans.

    Combined, the new tariffs will cost companies billions of dollars, and
    further escalate the uncertainty in two of the world's major trade partnerships. Companies will either take the losses and earn fewer
    profits, or, more likely, pass costs along to consumers in the form of
    higher prices.

    Prices will go up, in Europe and the United States, and jobs are at
    stake, said European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.

    "We deeply regret this measure. Tariffs are taxes. They are bad for
    business, and even worse for consumers," von der Leyen said.
