Since Donald Trump’s election to a second term as President of the United States, the possibility of U.S. trade measures against the European Union became more tangible. The new administration is reportedly considering imposing sanctions on certain EU Member States and imposing additional tariffs on EU exports to the U.S.

President-elect Donald Trump plans to impose widespread tariffs when he takes office in late January 2025. He has stated that one of his first executive orders will be to impose a 25% tariff on all products imported from Canada or Mexico. Products imported from China, such as metals, coatings, plumbing components and HVAC parts, could face an additional 10% tax above current tariffs. The imposition of such tariffs will have significant implications for megaprojects, including large infrastructure developments like highways, bridges, tunnels, airports, and railways, as well as large-scale energy projects like power plants, oil and gas facilities, and renewable energy installations.
