US EditionUS and Europe trade negotiators discuss tariffs in Paris
- European and U.S. trade negotiators met in Paris on May 14, 2025, to discuss resolving their tense tariff dispute.
- The meeting followed longstanding U.S. complaints about EU trade practices, including tariffs, VATs, and regulatory barriers that have persisted for decades.
- Key issues include U.S. steel tariffs imposed in April 2025, the EU's 10% car import tax, bans on hormone-treated beef and chlorinated chicken, and differing views on food safety standards.
- The EU has offered a 'zero for zero' tariff deal on industrial goods, including autos, which U.S. officials, including former trade counsel Greta Peisch, say might ease tensions if the U.S. is willing to engage.
- Despite ongoing talks and technical meetings, officials concede that reaching a substantive agreement soon is unlikely, and Europe may introduce countermeasures if negotiations fail.
