President Donald Trump has stated that the United States will respond to the European Union’s countermeasures against his new 25% tariffs on steel and aluminum, escalating the risk of a broader global trade war.

“Of course, I’m going to respond,” Trump said Wednesday when asked by reporters at the White House if he would take retaliatory action. “The problem is that our country never responded. Look, the EU was created to take advantage of the United States.”

Trump did not specify what measures he would take. The U.S. tariffs on metals, which went into effect Wednesday, have already triggered immediate retaliation from the EU and Canada, prompting other countries to intensify negotiations with the Trump administration in an attempt to remove the import taxes.

The European Commission delivered the strongest response yet to Trump’s latest trade offensive, launching “swift and proportionate countermeasures” on U.S. imports. The EU reinstated countervailing duties from 2018 and 2020 and added a new list of industrial and agricultural products. These measures will impact up to €26 billion (US$28.4 billion) in U.S. exports—matching the economic impact of the U.S. tariffs, according to EU officials.

he 39-year-old actress has confessed that she was terrified when doctors found a blood clot in her brain in February 2024, just before giving birth to her daughter, Ori.

The Hollywood star—who also shares daughters Alma, 13, Maya, 7, and Daniella, 3, with her husband Jason Varsano—opened up about the frightening experience on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon: “It was a huge scare. Suddenly, I understood what it really means to be scared to death.”

Gal had been suffering from severe headaches for weeks before finally receiving the correct diagnosis.

She was also “very pregnant” when the symptoms first appeared.

“I had excruciating headaches for three weeks and saw different doctors and neurologists,” she explained.

Initially, medical professionals attributed her headaches to migraines and hormonal changes. However, it was Gal’s mother who convinced her to get an MRI.

“They discovered something terrible, and we were rushed to the hospital. They delivered the baby immediately. I had a thrombectomy,” she shared.

In December, Gal publicly addressed her health scare in an emotional Instagram post.

Best known for her role as Wonder Woman, the actress wrote: “Back in February, during my eighth month of pregnancy, I was diagnosed with a massive blood clot in my brain. I had been suffering from unbearable headaches that left me bedridden for weeks, until I finally underwent an MRI that revealed the terrifying truth. In an instant, my family and I were reminded of how fragile life can be. It was a harsh reality check on how quickly everything can change. In the midst of an already difficult year, all I wanted was to hold on and survive. We rushed to the hospital, and within hours, I underwent emergency surgery. My daughter, Ori, was born in the middle of that uncertainty and fear.”

The 40-year-old actress shares her 10-year-old daughter, Rose, with ex-husband Romain Dauriac and her three-year-old son, Cosmo, with Colin Jost. She recently explained that she wants them to understand that “anonymity” is something that, once lost, cannot be regained.

In an interview with InStyle, the star said: “If someone knows me, they’d probably say I overshare. I’m definitely not a closed book, you know? No. I’m politically active and outspoken about it. But I’m a private person in the sense that I deeply value my close friendships. My family is incredibly important to me, as is their privacy. My children’s anonymity is very precious to me. The other day, I was talking to my daughter because she said, ‘Oh, I’d love to make videos for [my skincare brand] The Outset.’ She asked, ‘Why can’t I?’ And I told her, ‘Well, aside from the fact that you’re 10…’ The thing about being a public figure is that the idea of being recognized and celebrated seems fun, but once you lose your privacy, you can never get it back. The reality is that it’s a huge loss, you know? So, I think preserving that for as long as possible until it becomes their choice is my greatest lesson as a parent.”

Meanwhile, the Black Widow star has been a Hollywood name since her teenage years but admitted that she still worries her success could vanish overnight.

“I’m fortunate to have worked for a long time, and not too long ago, I started feeling settled in my career. Like all working actors, I used to have this constant fear that everything would just fall apart. Or that every movie would be my last. Deep down, I’m still that eight-year-old kid hoping for the next role. But now I see that I’ve actually built something… that I have a place here. And because of that, I’ve been able to stand my ground and not feel like I could disappear. I can carry this with me.”
