In Short:
– The EU plans countermeasures against the U.S. due to stalled trade talks and proposed higher tariffs.
– Germany is shifting its approach, urging robust actions if no agreement is reached by August 1.
The European Union is preparing for potential countermeasures against the U.S. due to stalled trade negotiations.
According to The Wall Street Journal, U.S. officials recently indicated that President Trump would demand larger concessions, possibly implementing a baseline tariff of 15% on European goods, compared to the previously discussed 10%.Banner

This unexpected turn has led Germany to reconsider its previously softer approach, aligning more with France’s aggressive stance against U.S. policy.

EU member states are urging their leadership to prepare robust actions, including potential restrictions beyond tariffs, if a deal is not finalised by the August 1 deadline.

Negotiations Continue

Despite the tensions, the European Commission remains committed to finding a mutually beneficial solution.

Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick expressed optimism about reaching an agreement beneficial for the U.S.

However, with Trump threatening significantly higher tariffs, EU officials are assessing a mix of countermeasures, which could impact large segments of the U.S. economy.
