WHAT COMES NEXT FOR TRANSATLANTIC TRADE - The next chapter of trade and economic relations between the United States and the European Union (EU) is uncertain. So far, US President Donald Trump imposed 10 percent baseline reciprocal tariffs (and threatened to raise them to 50 percent for the EU, before suspending them until July 9) in addition to separate US tariffs on steel and aluminum and autos. Such measures carry immense implications for the world’s largest trade and investment relationship. Negotiations between Washington and Brussels are ongoing to address the tariffs and other trade irritants—such as digital service taxes or non-tariff barriers in Europe—which will carry the potential to reshape the larger trade relationship.
Following the conclusion of the ninety-day pause of elevated US reciprocal tariffs on July 9, this expert panel will unpack the state of US-EU trade talks, the implications of any deal or lack thereof, and how both sides of the Atlantic should shape the future of transatlantic trade and economic relations.
This event is part of the Transatlantic Economic Dialogues, a series of public and private discussions to promote transatlantic economic cooperation, understand the shifts in philosophies in Washington and across Europe, and inspire collaborative approaches for a new paradigm of geopolitics and geoeconomics.
