- U.S. officials highlight digital service taxes, fines, and regulations as key obstacles that disadvantage American companies in Europe, while the EU prepares retaliatory tariffs on $95 billion of U.S. goods.
- Joe Grogan emphasized that any agreement on trade must tackle obstacles such as digital service taxes and put a stop to the EU's protectionist measures that disadvantage American technology companies.
- The EU summit will also cover sanctions on Russia, the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, and reviving Iran nuclear talks, all shaping the bloc's political agenda alongside trade outcomes.
