**I fully expect new EU tariffs to be long gone by May 1st. They will negotiate a more fair trade arrangement to preserve access to the US market.

We'll see. The tariffs as set have nothing to do with "fairness" of trading practices, they simply reflect trade deficits with a minimum of 10% tariff even if the US has a trade surplus with that country. You'd hope there's room for negotiation, but note that Vietnam has offered completely zero tariffs both ways, and so far we've rejected it.
