European Parliament gives conditional approval to EU-US trade deal

Cikk tartalma röviden

The European Parliament has approved legislation for an EU-US trade deal, reducing tariffs on EU goods from 30% to 15% in exchange for US commitments. The vote, which passed 417 to 154, includes safeguards to ensure the US honors the agreement. The deal will take effect only if the US meets its obligations, with a sunset clause ending the agreement by March 31, 2028. The legislation follows months of uncertainty due to President Trump's tariff threats and aims to strengthen EU-US trade relations.
