Will there be an agreement with the Americans?
A spokesman for the European Commission mentioned the possible potential area of the agreement. – Energy, more shopping of American liquefied gas or agri-food products, we can increase, for example, soybean imports from the USA – explained Olof Gill. The European Union also proposed to the United States mutual abolition of customs cars and industrial goods. But President USA Donald Trump He rejected such a proposal, but among his colleagues she aroused interest.
Suspension of customs duties on goods from Europe
At the beginning April 2025 Trump announced a 10 percent tariff for all trading partners. Tariffs of 20 percent were planned for the EU. Later He suspended high duties on goods from Europe for 90 days. The European Union also abstained with retaliation. However, the minimum rate of 10 percent remained in force. For the EU and most trading partners, it is still much higher than the previous average output. The chairwoman of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen has already justified the suspension of the duties with the prospect of negotiations.
