Caterpillar Inc. trucks, Xerox Corp. machines and Samsonite International SA luggage are among U.S. goods that would face retaliatory European Union tariffs should President Donald Trump follow through on a threat to impose automotive duties against the bloc, according to a senior EU official.

The person commented on the condition of anonymity because the retaliatory list drawn up by the European Commission, the EU’s executive arm in Brussels, is still a confidential draft.

Caterpillar reversed a gain in early trading in New York, falling as much as 1 percent on the news. Xerox dropped 0.1 percent.

Caterpillar, which announced earnings last month, had its biggest profit miss in a decade on worries over trade tensions. The Deerfield, Illinois-based company also issued a 2019 profit forecast range which, at the low end, was below the average of analysts’ expectations.
