On 27 July 2025,&nbsp;European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen&nbsp;and&nbsp;US President Donald J. Trump&nbsp;agreed a&nbsp;deal on tariffs and trade.&nbsp;The&nbsp;key commitments&nbsp;of both sides include: establishing a single, all-inclusive US tariff ceiling of 15% for EU goods, providing special treatment for strategic products, liberalising certain trade&nbsp;sectors, aimed at strengthening transatlantic economic cooperation and boosting mutual market access.

Discussions continue on various aspects of the deal, including the scope of tariff exemptions and the implementation timeline. Both sides are working towards finalizing the agreement to ensure stability and predictability in transatlantic trade relations.

The&nbsp;transatlantic partnership&nbsp;is a key artery of global trade and is the most significant bilateral trade and investment relationship in the world. EU-US trade in goods and services has doubled over the last decade, surpassing&nbsp;€1.6 trillion&nbsp;in 2024, with €867 billion of trade in goods and €817 billion of trade in services.

That is over&nbsp;€4.2 billion&nbsp;of goods and services crossing the Atlantic every day. The deal&nbsp;secures continued access for EU exports to the US market&nbsp;preserving deeply integrated value chains – many of which rely on SMEs – and effectively safeguarding jobs. It also provides the basis&nbsp; for&nbsp;continued&nbsp;collaboration&nbsp;between the EU and US.

David McALLISTER (EPP, DE), Chair of the Committee on Foreign Affairs (AFET) makes a statement following the temporary results of the 2020 US Presidential election (Skype video recording). Given the high level of polarisation in the United States and the substantial divergence between the policies of the incumbent and those of his contenders, the results of this presidential election will in many ways define the next four years for the US, for transatlantic relations and for global governance.
