Taoiseach ‘Hopeful’ of EU-US Deal on Tariffs

COUNTY DUBLIN, IRELAND, JUL 7 – Taoiseach expresses cautious optimism as EU-US tariff negotiations continue amid threats of damaging 50% tariffs, with a delay to August 1 providing more time to finalize a deal.

  • The EU and the US are negotiating a trade deal on tariffs ahead of a crucial July 9 deadline in Brussels.
  • The Trump administration delayed raising the baseline 10% tariff to August 1 to allow further time for talks amid ongoing issues.
  • Irish and EU leaders, including Taoiseach Micheal Martin and Tanaiste Simon Harris, emphasize the need to finalize a mutually beneficial framework agreement.
  • Mr. Harris warned that a 50% tariff would severely damage EU-US trade, while Portugal pushes for transparency and a low tariff deal possibly under 10%.
  • The outcome will shape future trade relations, with unresolved issues remaining and significant economic risks if no agreement is reached.
