> The EU and US are closing in on a trade deal that would impose 15 per cent tariffs on European imports, similar to the agreement Donald Trump struck with Japan this week.
> Brussels could agree to the so-called reciprocal levies to avoid the US president’s threat to raise them to 30 per cent from August 1, three people familiar with the situation told the Financial Times.
> Both sides would waive tariffs on some products, including aircraft, spirits and medical devices, the people said.
> The European Commission, which runs EU trade policy, briefed envoys from member states on Wednesday following talks with US counterparts.
> The bloc’s exporters have been paying an additional 10 per cent tariff on goods sent to the US since April while talks between Washington and Brussels continued. That was on top of pre-existing duties averaging 4.8 per cent.
If Trump can actually get the Europeans to agree to a 15% tariff then it shows the Democrats could have as well.
Feels like it would be better for the EU to take a stand here rather than accept unilateral trade barriers…

Yeah, right.
As a Brit, I hope that this is the end result. It will certainly help our exports and cause EU manufacturers to look at partially relocating here, or upping existing manufacturing they have here.
Great for the UK and great for UK jobs.
Only a trade war would be better at this point.
If the EU agrees to a 15% tariff on all our goods without retaliating, then Donald Trump has won. The tariffs will be paid by the Americans, but many European products would suddenly become less competitive in the US.
And meanwhile, the big US tech companies are free to do as they please in Europe.
In my opinion, Europe should target these tech companies because that is where the US is most vulnerable and, at the same time, because our dependence is so great.
In the tech sector, we need to take a hard protectionist line so that European solutions have a chance of surviving and are not immediately crushed by the absurdly rich monopolists from the US or (as happens very often) simply bought out and shut down. But with the current and future EU leadership, this will not happen and we will remain dangerously dependent.
EU bends the knee as expected. Are we also gonna be paying a $500b shakedown fee to a Trump slushfund, like Japan?
This happens when the unelected EU represent ants don’t have a backbone. Next time, they should line up, bend over and accept daddy’s gift over and over again. We need to start electing ourselves the represent ants of EU Parliament and who the leader should be, like how democracy should work.
>A US official said the situation was fluid and subject to change.
So basically, business as usual.
So basically we lost ?
So we’re once again bowing for Cheeto?
So these will be reciprocal and consequently apply to the US’ biggest export product, digital services, right? RIGHT?!
And what will prevent Trump from raising the tariffs to 30% next time someone asks him about Epstein?
This entire trade war has revealed that our “alliance” with the USA is truly more resembling a status of a lackey. And US lackeys are all bowing down to their master, no united front was formed and unfavourable deals are being accepted out of desperation. It’s just pathetic.
If there’s no retaliation then our EU representatives are not representing Europeans anymore. They are traitors to me.
“deal” meaning Trump does whatever he wants and we accept it without retaliating. What a humiliation, what weaklings we have for leaders.
Zero chance he will change his mind on this particular “deal” right? Unlike all the others?
Eu is a joke if they can’t get a better deal than UK. It’s a clear message to all businesses to relocate to the UK, how can they do not understand that?? They should delay th deal until the midterms and strike hard to compromise Trump’s position.
POTUS has no authority, none whatsoever, to impose tariffs outside the most dire of circumstances. EU accepting Trump’s “deals” in our name is support for lawlessness and oligarchy – the same things we despise about Russia and do not want to see in our European home. Europe is not Absurdistan!
If this is true, we don’t have politicians, we have traitors
Boycott during 6 months and will see
I half want to believe that the EU is just doing this to get this shit over with and renegotiate in four years when sanity hopefully returns.
Get your insider trading in while it’s hot, ladies and gentlemen!
So… being a member of EU is not a good trade policy. EU is just as fangless and impotent as a lone country can be.
Fuck the EU in the ass for entertaining this bulshit!
If there is ever a time for polls of opinion on important matters to me this is it, as I suspect the majority of European citizens would gladly fight this tyrannical bulshit rather than entertain the policies of a rich spoiled illiterate felon.
But then again… times clearly have changed, we seem to be going back on policies that where moving the world forward in a better direction, now it very much feels like everyone for themselves kind of thing.
Have they tried 0%?
