EU-US Trade Talks: A New Era for Transatlantic Investment?
- On Monday, European Trade Commissioner Maros Sefcovic had productive conversations by phone with U.S. Officials Howard Lutnick, the Commerce Secretary, and Trade Representative Jamieson Greer to discuss the state of transatlantic trade relations.
- These discussions followed earlier tougher talks and stem from ongoing efforts to resolve tariffs, including a suspended 10% U.S. Reciprocal tariff on EU goods set to last until July.
- The European Commission has asked leading companies and industry groups, including BusinessEurope and the European Roundtable for Industry, to submit detailed U.S. Investment plans urgently to support trade talks.
- The EU proposed a deal to eliminate tariffs on industrial goods while increasing EU purchases of soybeans, arms, and liquefied natural gas, amid Trump’s focus on re-industrializing the U.S. And a threatened 50% tariff hike delayed until July 9.
- These developments have led the EU to intensify trade negotiation efforts and corporate engagement, while Trump has retracted harsher tariffs and called the talks a 'positive event'.
