👉 Tariffs.

We are ready for an agreement on tariffs with the US, says Von der Leyen.

The President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, stated that the European Union (EU) is ready for an agreement on tariffs with the United States and emphasized that the European Commissioner for Trade, Maros Sefcovic, is in negotiations with his counterparts in Washington. However, the European leader stressed that the bloc is also prepared for a scenario without "a satisfactory agreement".

"We want a negotiated resolution, but all instruments are 'on the table' if we do not reach an agreement. We will defend European interests; what we seek is a principled agreement with the US," she noted during a press conference this Thursday (3).
