The EU tariffs on $3.4 bil- lion worth of U.S. products are in retaliation for duties the Trump administration has imposed on European steel and aluminum. The EU trade commis- sioner has acknowledged that the EU targeted some iconic American items to put polit- ical pressure on U.S. Pres- ident Donald Trump and senior U.S. politicians. Euro- pean Commission spokesman Alexander Winterstein said the EU’s response is propor- tionate and reasonable. Daniel Gros, director for Economy and Finance at the Center for European Policy Studies, said that in a trade war everyone stands to lose, but the U.S. has put itself in a worse position. “I think the United States is losing more because it has put tariffs on a very import- ant input which very often AP Photo/Steve Helber In this June 20 photo, Catoctin Creek Distillery whiskey is on display in the tasting room in Purcellville, Va. The European Union on Friday will start taxing a range of U.S. imports, including Harley-Davidson bikes, cranberries, peanut butter, playing cards and whiskey. it doesn’t produce itself,” he said. “The EU perhaps will find a few disgruntled con- sumers who have to pay more for their Harley Davidsons, but that is not a big loss for us.” Trump imposed tariffs of 25 percent on EU steel and 10 percent on aluminum on June 1. Europeans claim that breaks global trade rules. The spat is part of a wider tussle over global trade. In two weeks, the United States will start taxing $34 billion in Chinese goods. Beijing has vowed to immediately retal- iate with its own tariffs on U.S. soybeans and other farm products.

When Innes’ niece and her husband moved to Pendleton, the trio decided to co-found Round-Up City Restoration. Innes said fore- closed properties can stay unoccupied long after their residents have moved out, falling into disrepair. Banks and other lend- ing other institutions will pay companies like Round-Up City Resto- ration to fix up the prop- erties while the houses sit in limbo. While some resto- ration business do more comprehensive ren- ovations, Innes said their business focuses on gardening and lawn mowing. Innes said her neph- ew-in-law works full- time as a log scaler, so the business is some- thing they do in their spare time for homes in the 97801 area code. While Innes said her primary responsibility is filling out the requi- site paperwork, she’s not opposed to getting her hands dirty for a job. “I like the hard work,” she said. Elected to the Pendle- ton City Council in May, Innes said she likes the job because its a chance to improve the image of the community.
