What exactly are tariffs? Who ends up paying them? And why is the European Commission—not individual EU countries—handling trade negotiations?
In this video, we explain how tariffs work using simple examples, such as imported shoes and a real-life "Chicken War" between the EU and the US.
You’ll learn:
00:16 What tariffs are and how they function
01:05 Who actually bears the cost (spoiler: it’s not always who you think)
01:21: What is the essence of tariffs? Chickens vs. cars
01:47 Why the European Commission negotiates trade deals on behalf of all 27 EU Member States
02:52 How trade agreements impact consumers, businesses, the environment, and international relations
From taxes on chicken in the 1960s to today’s powerful EU single market, this explainer shows why trade policy matters — and how it affects you as an EU citizen.

The Department of Justice filed a civil forfeiture complaint today in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia against more than $225.3 million in cryptocurrency. According to the complaint, law enforcement used blockchain analysis and other investigative techniques to determine that the cryptocurrency is connected to the theft and laundering of funds from victims of cryptocurrency investment fraud schemes, commonly referred to as “cryptocurrency confidence scams.”
Members of the public who believe they are victims of cryptocurrency investment fraud and other cyber-enabled crime should contact the FBI Internet Crime Complaint Center at www.ic3.gov. If you believe you may be a victim of one of the scams alleged in the government’s complaint, add the code “BT06182025” in the narrative of your complaint, and if you have previously filed a related complaint, make note of the prior complaint in the narrative.
