I mean - isn't the whole discussion on tariffs based on the premise that EU is (mis)using the US somehow? Consumer prices don't show that at all - no matter imported or exported goods, in the end everything is still much cheaper in the US. A part of this is VAT of course but some prices are still much lower in US even when you discount the VAT amount.
