The European Union is ready to adopt a commercial agreement with the United States, which includes a 10% universal tariff for many of its exports, but wants the United States BloombergField
According to people familiar with this issue, the European commission also forces the United States to set quotas and exceptions that effectively reduce the tariff by 25% for cars and parts of cars, as well as 50% of steel and aluminum. For Europeans, this pact still approves a little, but that would be acceptable.
A Until July 9, he must close the agreement with Donald Trump up to 50% of tariffs for almost all of his export in the United States.The US President introduced tariffs for almost all of his commercial partners, claiming that he seeks to repatriate production, finance financial expansion and stop foreign use.
Both the EU and the United States should reach an agreement until July 9, whose date Washington plans to apply a 50% tariff to almost all European products, and the EU plans to impose counter -countersThey hope to reach a temporary agreement on both sides, since Trump agreed with China to continue negotiating. Any agreement will include tariffs, non -set -wing barriers, key purchases of American products and additional zones of cooperation.
Negotiation time
The commercial head of the EU, Maros Sefkovich, will head this week a delegation in Washington to increase negotiations. Blok believes that the fundamental agreement remains the best scenarioAlthough it was not clarified how long the temporary provisions will last.
The commission also wants the current tariffs of the US sector, such as those that were applied to cars and metals, as well as future tariffs, are considered from the very beginning. The EU seeks to reduce non -set -icide barriers mainly with strategic purchases of technologies of liquefied natural gas and artificial intelligence. It is also open to cooperation with the United States in general economic security problems.
According to the commission, US tariffs currently affect 380,000 million eurosThe commission on Monday, the commission informed the member states that he received an American proposal, which considered tariffs, non -maiden barriers and strategic cooperation.
Four scenarios
The worst scenario is that Washington does not accept a balanced offer. The block continues to prepare countermeasures if the result is unsatisfactory. The EU has already approved tariffs for 21,000 million American products that can be used quicklyField
In addition, Brussels prepared an additional list for additional taxation of US products in the amount of 95,000 million, which affects cars, Boeing, Bourbon, Cars and other industrial goods. If Trump violates negotiations, there are high probabilities that European repressions are activated.
The aim of Brussels is to achieve useful consent to the United States, although it should be adopted by a certain level of asymmetry. This scenario increases the likely alternative scenario for extending the negotiation period.
