EU Ready 'for All Scenarios' Amid Trade Talks with US

EUROPEAN UNION AND UNITED STATES, JUL 9 – The EU aims to avoid tariffs up to 200% on medicines by seeking a trade deal with the US before August 1 while preparing for all possible outcomes, officials said.

  • EU and US negotiate to finalize a trade agreement before August 1, aiming to avoid higher reciprocal tariffs on key goods, with progress and deadlines closely monitored.
  • Following Trump's tariff warning, he announced plans for up to 200% tariffs on medicines and semiconductors, with no further delays beyond August 1, as US efforts to pressure EU talks continue.
  • EU negotiators report progress on multiple trade issues, with consultations ongoing among member states following Maroša Šefčovič’s successful Washington visit to advance the deal before August 1.
  • Meanwhile, Trump is two days from revealing tariff rates, while the EU prepares for all scenarios and vows to defend its interests in good faith.
  • Absent a deal, the EU faces rising tariffs from 10% to 20% on pharmaceuticals and semiconductors after August 1, risking increased trade barriers amid ongoing negotiations.
