EU Seeks US Trade Deal in Principle to Provide Certainty
EUROPEAN UNION AND UNITED STATES, JUL 8 – EU member states accept a deal maintaining 10% US import tariffs amid ongoing talks, seeking stability after months of uncertainty impacting European exporters, officials said.
- The European Union and United States are nearing an agreement in principle to prevent US tariffs on EU imports rising above 10 percent by August 1, 2025.
- This follows a three-month negotiating period set by US President Trump in early April, originally expiring on July 9, but the US delayed tariff increases to August 1.
- The proposed deal would keep existing 10 percent tariffs on EU goods, while new tariffs on sectors like pharmaceuticals and semiconductors remain under US review amid concerns of further increases.
- Trump announced plans for up to 50 percent tariffs on copper and possibly 200 percent on medicines, while EU officials emphasize the need for rapid resolution and stability for affected industries.
- If finalized and approved by Trump, the agreement would reduce uncertainty for businesses, but EU officials acknowledge it may not guarantee long-term protection against future tariff increases.
