According to Odaily Planet Daily, the EU envoy will hold a meeting as early as this week to address countermeasure plans in response to a possible "no deal" scenario with U.S. President Trump. Trump's stance on tariff negotiations has hardened ahead of the August 1 deadline. While most people lean towards continuing negotiations with Washington, there has been no sustained progress since last week's talks. Negotiations will continue over the next two weeks. Sources reveal that the U.S. hopes to impose tariffs above 10% on EU goods, with the exemption scope narrowed to only the aviation industry, certain medical devices and generics, some alcoholic beverages, and specific manufacturing equipment.
