Not quite sure what this bush identifies as, but it seems to grow well when fertilized* with a disintegrating sack of used aluminium profiles.

Picked them up anyways. Like the bush, not quite sure what the alu profiles are either. Probably some kind of fastening strips for putting tiles or wood siding on?

The 27-nation bloc faces 25% import #tariffs on #steel & #aluminium & #cars as well as the new broader tariffs of 20% for almost all other goods under #Trump's policy to hit countries he says impose high barriers to US imports.

The #EU will put in place duties mostly of 25% on a range of #US imports from next Tues in response specifically to the US #metals tariffs. The bloc is still assessing how to respond to the car & broader levies.

The European Commission proposed counter-tariffs of 25% on a range of U.S. goods on Monday in response to President Donald Trump's tariffs on #steel and #aluminium , a document seen by Reuters showed. The tariffs on some goods will come into effect May 16 and other later in the year, on December 1, the document said. FRANCE 24's Dave Keating reports from Brussels.

How US tariffs are disrupting Europe's aluminium industry.

Europeans do not export much aluminium to the United States. Yet, the 25% tariffs imposed by Donald Trump are disrupting the sector, particularly the recycling branch.
