The EU is focused on extracting maximum positives from our talks with the US. A few weeks ago, we were staring down the barrel of a 30% tariff. We succeeded in reducing this to a 15% ceiling (incl. clear commitments from US on cars, pharma, semiconductors). The work continues.

The transatlantic partnership deserves a negotiated solution, meaningful for both sides. Any final outcome must thus work for businesses on both sides - this is what @EU_Commission continues to pursue. Concerted, genuine efforts on both sides can get us across the finish line.

EU teams have been working tirelessly, at technical & political level, to conclude an Agreement in Principle with the US. We count on the US continuing to engage in this sense. Reaching a deal now depends on the willingness to find an outcome that is acceptable to both sides.

EU strongly regrets the announced US increase of steel & aluminium tariffs from 25% to 50%. This decision adds further economic uncertainty on both sides of the Atlantic. Negotations continue - both sides have agreed to accelerate talks, with meetings happening this week.

The EU welcomes US & China announcing a roll-back on imposing tariffs for 90 days. The EU has consistently stated its opposition to such tariffs, and we welcome any step that supports stability & predictability for global trade/investment, provided global rules are respected.

The Tribunal found that the UK prohibition on sandeel fishing in English waters breached the obligation to grant EU vessels full access to those waters. The UK is required to comply with the final ruling and shall inform the EU within 30 days of the measures it will take. 2/2.

I asked our in-house AI to jazz up a Europe Day 2025 press release. and got a 1980s travel brochure🙄:. But wait, there’s more! In a world that's a bit all over the place right now, Europe is your rock—championing opportunities, security & all those core values we care about.
