CoinVoice has recently learned that, according to informed sources, Trump has raised his demands in trade negotiations with the EU, hoping to maintain tariffs on EU goods at least at the level of 15% - 20% in any agreement reached. In previous weeks, both sides aimed to keep tariffs on most goods at a baseline level of 10%. However, Trump's more hardline stance this time is intended to test the EU's tolerance for tariff pressure. Informed sources indicate that Trump is indifferent to the EU's recent proposal to reduce auto tariffs and is willing to maintain auto tariffs at 25% as originally planned. An American official revealed that even if an agreement is reached, the U.S. government is considering setting reciprocal tariffs above 10%. A senior EU diplomat stated that if Trump insists on setting reciprocal tariffs at 15% - 20%, it would revert to the levels at which trade negotiations began in April this year, potentially forcing the EU to take retaliatory measures.
