Australia-EU Trade Talks Back on Amid Scramble over Trump Tariffs

Australia resumed trade talks with the European Union in June 2025 in Paris following a collapse of negotiations in October 2023.
The talks follow escalating global trade tension driven by the return of Donald Trump and his renewed America-first tariff policies disrupting alliances and supply chains.
Australia seeks increased market access for beef, lamb, sugar, cheese, and rice beyond past quotas, while the EU insists on protecting geographic indications like parmesan cheese.
Duncan Lewis, chairman of the European Australian Business Council, stated, "It's time to get this done," reflecting growing determination from over ten business groups to finalize the deal.
A successful agreement could demonstrate that free trade remains achievable despite protectionism, highlighting the EU’s role in upholding multilateral trade in a fractured global environment.
