Zollstreit: EU and USA intensify trade discussions
Escalating Trade Tensions: EU and U.S. Engage in Intense Negotiations for Customs Agreement - Intensified trade discussions on the horizon: EU and U.S. aim for deeper negotiations.
Want to talk trade with the EU and the USA? Maros Sefcovic and US trade representative Jamieson Greer are in regular contact, striving for a "fair, balanced, and sustainable outcome."
Germany's Minister of Economics, Katherina Reiche (CDU), sees the EU in a strong bargaining position, despite Trump's tariffs. According to Reiche, "we'll negotiate from a position of strength."
The European Commission presented a list of American goods that may face extra tariffs if Washington fails to reach an agreement. Poland's Trade Representative, Michal Baranowski, remains optimistic there are signs of de-escalation on the American side, possibly paving the way for productive talks with the EU.
Remember, in April 2025, U.S. President Donald Trump caused a global trade dispute by imposing a 10% general tariff on EU goods, with even steeper tariffs for metals, cars, and additional products.
It's a trade tangle spanning brands like Boeing and Airbus, and negotiations may prove tricky, with compromises yet to be found. But watch this space, as these two powerhouses strive to seal a deal that's fair to all.
