US EditionEU Firms Up Trade Strategy Ahead of Trump’s Tariff Deadline
- EU leaders are negotiating with the Trump administration ahead of the July 9 tariff deadline that could raise U.S. tariffs on nearly all EU exports to 50 percent.
- The United States imposed tariffs starting in April 2025 to reduce the EU’s large goods trade surplus and rebuild its manufacturing base, while many tariffs remain non-negotiable.
- The European Commission continues pushing for mutual tariff reductions and addressing non-tariff barriers amid division among member states about accepting some levies or risking escalation.
- A YouGov poll in March showed 56 to 79 percent support for retaliatory EU action, and industry chief Stephane Sejourne confirmed the EU is prepared to respond to tariffs with countermeasures including the 10 percent levy.
- The EU plans countermeasures if talks fail but acknowledges retaliation will burden its economy and may not secure a stable trade partnership, while negotiations remain uncertain.
