EU negotiators reach deal on US tariffs

EU negotiators have reached a provisional agreement on implementing a tariff deal with the United States. Under the deal - which still needs a final vote in the European Parliament and from ministers - the EU will allow most US industrial goods to be imported with zero tariffs. In return, Trump agreed to a maximum 15 percent tariff on all EU goods exported to the US. Under the provisional deal reached overnight in Strasbourg, the European Commission will be able to suspend the agreement if the US President doesn’t keep his word on the 15 percent ceiling. European Commissioner for Trade, Maroš Šefčovič, said it showed the EU was serious about getting the agreement in place as soon as possible.
