Where do trade talks stand in the rush to avert higher US tariffs?
- The U.S. administration plans to start imposing unilateral tariffs on trading partners from August 1, after a July 9 deadline for deals lapses in Washington, D.C.
- The tariffs follow a 90-day reprieve begun April 2, during which the U.S. sought trade agreements with economies including the EU, Japan, and Vietnam.
- EU-U.S. talks remain unsettled despite intense discussions, with Ursula von der Leyen confirming no final deal but seeking a 'good and ambitious transatlantic trade deal'.
- Tariffs are proposed to range from a starting point of 10% up to as much as 50% on certain EU products, while Mr. Trump indicated that he is leaning toward issuing a formal letter outlining the tariffs.
- If no agreements emerge, tariffs will start, raising chances of retaliatory EU measures and economic imbalance persisting into the future trade relationship.
