On July 9, according to the Financial Times, EU negotiators are about to reach a trade agreement with US President Trump, which will confirm that the tariffs faced by the EU are higher than those enjoyed by the UK. According to CoinWorld News, Brussels is preparing to sign a temporary 'framework' agreement, which stipulates that during the continuation of the negotiations, the 'equivalent' tariff imposed by the US President is 10%, equivalent to the baseline tariff imposed on the UK. However, six diplomats who are familiar with the situation stated that the EU is unlikely to gain the same level of access to the US market as the UK for steel, automobiles, and other products affected by industry tariffs. In addition, Trump has also demanded a 17% tariff on EU agricultural products. One diplomat said, 'The agreement for the UK is better than this. Given how long we have been negotiating, this is unexpected.'
