Motorcycle manufacturer Harley-Davidson warned on Friday that retaliatory tariffs from the European Union would have a "significant impact" on its sales, while urging officials in the U.S. and Europe to quickly resolve a mounting trade dispute.

“We support free and fair trade and hope for a quick resolution to this issue,” the company said in a statement, according to Reuters.

"We believe a punitive, retaliatory tariff on Harley-Davidson motorcycles in any of our major markets would have a significant impact on our sales, our dealers, our suppliers and our customers in those markets."

The warning from Harley came as the E.U., Canada and Mexico prepared to impose tariffs on a range of U.S. goods in response to President Trump Donald John TrumpOmar fires back at Trump over rally remarks: 'This is my country' Pelosi: Trump hurrying to fill SCOTUS seat so he can repeal ObamaCare Trump mocks Biden appearance, mask use ahead of first debate MORE's decision to slap stiff duties on imported steel and aluminum.

Among the U.S. products that could be included in the E.U.'s proposed tariffs are several iconic American exports, including bourbon, blue jeans and motorcycles.

The E.U. and Canada also brought cases against the U.S. at the World Trade Organization on Friday.

Likewise, Mexico and Canada were offered exemptions while negotiators sought to rework the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). Those talks had not moved as fast as the U.S. had hoped, Ross said, prompting the Trump administration to impose the tariffs.
