A commercial war between the USA and the EU, with duties imposed on the one hand and counterdat on the other, would lead to important repercussions also on inflation in Europewith widespread increases for Made in the US products. The examples come from Codacons that starts from one of the most typical symbols of America, The timeless Harley Davidson: Today it is sold in Italy at a list price of 15,900 euros for the cheapest model, up to 50,600 euros for the top of the range, the “Road Glide ST”. The possible imposition of mutual duties at 30%, if discharged on end consumers, would lead the price of Harley Davidson to rise from 4,770 euros for the basic model to 15,180 for the most exclusive one, which would thus cost to cost 65,780 euros, calculates the consumer association.

Some jeans imported from the USA will also be affected by the increases: with 30%counterdasi, the average price risks climbing From the current 120 euros to 156 euros (+36 euros). The American sweet snacks (average price of 1.5 euros) would enclose 45 cents, while the price of a 340 gram peanut jar, if produced in the USA, would go on average of 1.5 euros. Also cosmetics, cereals, fruit juices marketed in Italy but produced in the United States would undergo an increase in the price lists due to the counter -chiefs, while alcohol should be saved such as bourbon and whiskey (for the pressure on the EU of some countries that have asked to exclude these products from countermeasures), and some carbonated drinks such as Coca Cola and Pepsi: the latter, in fact, being produced in establishments are produced in establishments. Europeans, and therefore are not imported.
