BRUSSELS — The European Commission received broad support from EU member countries on Thursday for a single round of retaliatory tariffs on U.S. goods if no trade deal is reached with the Trump administration, two EU diplomats told POLITICO.

The European Union is exploring a broader set of possible counter-measures against the United States as prospects for an acceptable trade agreement with Washington fade, according to EU diplomats.

The European Union is readying a sweeping €100 billion ($117 billion) package of retaliatory tariffs on American goods if President Donald Trump follows through on his threat to impose a 30% levy on most EU exports after August 1,
