The European Commission has expressed grave concerns regarding the potential consequences of tariff increases announced by U.S. President Donald Trump. During a ministerial meeting in Brussels, EU Trade Commissioner Maros Sefcovic indicated that the imposition of tariffs of 30% or more on imports from the EU would severely disrupt transatlantic trade.
Sefcovic remarked that such high tariffs would be tantamount to a de facto trade ban, making it nearly impossible to maintain the current levels of trade between the U.S. and EU. He highlighted that both sides of the Atlantic would incur substantial negative repercussions if these tariffs come into effect.
In light of this, Sefcovic reaffirmed the EU's commitment to ongoing dialogue with the United States, aiming to reach a negotiated settlement before the August 1 deadline set by Trump for the implementation of the proposed 30% tariffs.
Should negotiations fail, the EU is prepared to respond with counter-tariffs. In anticipation of such a scenario, Trump has indicated he would further increase his own tariffs in retaliation.
The rationale behind Trump's tariff strategy primarily revolves around addressing the U.S. trade deficit. Recent data from Eurostat reveals that the EU recorded a significant trade surplus of approximately EUR198 billion in goods traded with the U.S. in 2024.
While the EU enjoys a surplus in goods, it faces a trade deficit in services, leading to an overall surplus of about EUR50 billion when both categories are considered. In total, the transatlantic trade in goods and services amounted to around EUR1.7 trillion in 2024, underscoring the robust trading relationship between the EU and the United States.
