Meetings between EU and US trade negotiators will go ahead as planned next week despite a US court’s rebuke of President Donald Trump’s tariff agenda.
The latest talks between EU trade commissioner Maro? ?ef?ovi? and his US counterparts, scheduled to take place on the sidelines of the OECD ministerial meeting in Paris next week, were still expected to go ahead, EU officials said, even though the US Court of International Trade ruled that Trump’s “liberation day” tariff programme was illegal.
The ruling affects duties announced by Trump on April 2, including a baseline 10 per cent tariff. Sectoral levies on imports of cars, steel and aluminium from the EU at 25 per cent remain in place.
