The President of the European Commission Ursula von der Lane admitted that it is “impossible” to close the “detailed” agreement with the United States until the deadline on July 9, when the tariff truce ends in agreement between both partners.
“Indeed, we intend to achieve the principle of the agreement,” said the German leader, who considers it “impossible” to close the agreement in detail ”for the“ huge ”volume of business between the EU and the United States, which is 1.5 billion, in 90 days.
“This is also what the UK did,” said von der Lein at a press conference with Prime Minister Denmark Mette Fredericksen in Aarhus (Denmark) as part of the inauguration of the presidency of the Danish presidency of the Council.
The President of the Community Head emphasized that the EU was “ready for an agreement” and confirmed that her preferences are a “agreed decision”, while the conversations between Brussels and Washington are ongoing.
In fact, the European Trade Commissar Maros Sefkovich returned to travel to the United States to meet with the Minister of Treasury Scott Besent, as well as with American trade officials, Jamison Grier and Howard Lutnik.
“We want a consistent decision, but at the same time we are preparing for the fact that a satisfactory agreement has not been reached,” said a German policy that warned that it would defend “European interest if necessary”.
In any case, he admitted that “as always in negotiations, you never know when they are successfully ending”, but insisted that he seeks to close the principle of the agreement on July 9.
