are set to discuss the implementation of the EU-US trade deal again, amid threats of higher tariffs from Trump. As the clock is ticking, this could be the last chance to finalize it before the 4 July deadline.<br \/>\n    <\/h2>\n<div class=\"c-article-content js-article-content\">\n<p>European Parliament and EU countries are gearing up for the final stretch of the EU-US trade deal negotiation, in crunch talks amid growing pressure from Donald Trump\u2019s administration. <\/p>\n<div>\n<div class=\"c-ad u-show-for-mobile-only\">\n<div class=\"c-ad__placeholder\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"c-ad__placeholder__logo\" src=\"https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/website\/images\/logos\/logo-euronews-stacked-outlined-72x72-grey-9.svg\" width=\"72\" height=\"72\" alt loading=\"lazy\"><span>ADVERTISEMENT<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"c-ad u-show-for-desktop\">\n<div class=\"c-ad__placeholder\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"c-ad__placeholder__logo\" src=\"https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/website\/images\/logos\/logo-euronews-stacked-outlined-72x72-grey-9.svg\" width=\"72\" height=\"72\" alt loading=\"lazy\"><span>ADVERTISEMENT<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>On Tuesday at 9 pm, in the Parliament in Strasbourg, lawmakers and diplomats are set to discuss again the implementation of the deal, which would cut European tariffs on US goods to zero and set a 15% cap for American tariffs on European products. Time is running out, as the deal should be finalized before June to be approved by the Parliament\u2019s next plenary session the same month and comply with Trump\u2019s deadline.<\/p>\n<p>After a call with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen last week, the US president said he would give the EU until 4 July to implement its commitments, before he raises tariffs on EU goods, including cars, to &#8220;much higher levels.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Parliament and Council have in the meantime reached a provisional deal to make the trade agreement suspendable in the event of a market disruption caused by a surge in US imports, but other details remain to be fixed, and political groups are not fully aligned.<\/p>\n<p>In particular, the so-called \u201csunrise clause\u201d, which defines when the agreement would begin to apply. The EU Parliament wants it to start only once Washington complies with the 15% tariff cap, while the Commission and several member states prefer it to kick off immediately.<\/p>\n<p>The sunrise clause was introduced by MEPs after a US Supreme Court ruling in February declared the 2025 US tariffs illegal, prompting Washington to introduce new duties on EU goods that now average above the agreed ceiling, therefore in violation of the deal.<\/p>\n<p>MEPs also want the EU to be able to suspend the deal in the event of threats to the EU\u2019s territorial integrity, such as those made by Trump earlier this year. But the Commission opposes the provision. Negotiations are also continuing over an expiry date for the agreement, with EU lawmakers proposing March 2028.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Parliament\u2019s negotiators have different priorities<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>While discussing the details with the EU countries\u2019 diplomats, lawmakers must also ensure they have the support of the Parliament\u2019s majority to get the final version over the line.<\/p>\n<p>The details of the deal could create friction within the fragile \u201ccentrist majority\u201d that supports von der Leyen\u2019s Commission. European People\u2019s Party (EPP), Socialists and Democrats (S&amp;D), and Renew Europe agree on the need to have the deal in place, but diverge on the line to keep in the talks with diplomats.<\/p>\n<p>The EPP is more likely to bow to pressure, as it wants to clinch the deal as soon as possible to avoid risks of disruptions for the European industry.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe earlier we can close negotiations, the earlier we give clarity for businesses and indeed more predictability in a turbulent situation,\u201d Swedish EPP MEP J\u00f6rgen Warborn, who has negotiated the deal in the last meeting, replacing her colleague Croatian MEP \u017deljana Zovko, told Euronews after the last attempt failed two weeks ago.<\/p>\n<p>The S&amp;D has a firmer stance and wants the clauses to be featured into the deal. <\/p>\n<p>Bernd Lange, who is the top negotiator from the Parliament, refused to advance the talks and considers that European legislation must not be shaped by threatening social media posts from Washington.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe latest developments show that it was right for us to stand firm against the American campaign of threats\u201d, he said in a recent press release, referring to the US court rulings against the global tariffs imposed by Trump.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>                                  Go to accessibility shortcuts<\/p>\n<div

Magyar signals openness to Ukraine accession talks after Orb\u00e1n exit<br \/>\n  <\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<div class=\"articleBody\" data-key=\"articleBody\">European Parliament and EU countries are gearing up for the final stretch of the EU-US trade deal negotiation, in crunch talks amid growing pressure from Donald Trump\u2019s administration.\u00a0On Tuesday at 9 pm, in the Parliament in Strasbourg, lawmakers and diplomats are set to discuss again the implementation of the deal, which would cut European tariffs on US goods to zero and set a 15% cap for American tariffs on European products. Time is running out, as the deal should be finalized before June to be approved by the Parliament\u2019s next plenary session the same month and comply with Trump\u2019s deadline.After a call with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen last week, the US president said he would give the EU until 4 July to implement its commitments, before he raises tariffs on EU goods, including cars, to &#8220;much higher levels.&#8221;Parliament and Council have in the meantime reached a provisional deal to make the trade agreement suspendable in the event of a market disruption caused by a surge in US imports, but other details remain to be fixed, and political groups are not fully aligned.In particular, the so-called \u201csunrise clause\u201d, which defines when the agreement would begin to apply. The EU Parliament wants it to start only once Washington complies with the 15% tariff cap, while the Commission and several member states prefer it to kick off immediately.The sunrise clause was introduced by MEPs after a US Supreme Court ruling in February declared the 2025 US tariffs illegal, prompting Washington to introduce new duties on EU goods that now average above the agreed ceiling, therefore in violation of the deal.MEPs also want the EU to be able to suspend the deal in the event of threats to the EU\u2019s territorial integrity, such as those made by Trump earlier this year. But the Commission opposes the provision. Negotiations are also continuing over an expiry date for the agreement, with EU lawmakers proposing March 2028.Parliament\u2019s negotiators have different prioritiesWhile discussing the details with the EU countries\u2019 diplomats, lawmakers must also ensure they have the support of the Parliament\u2019s majority to get the final version over the line.The details of the deal could create friction within the fragile \u201ccentrist majority\u201d that supports von der Leyen\u2019s Commission.
