Listeners, today’s top story centers on the rapidly evolving tariff standoff between the United States and the European Union. Tensions have escalated as President Trump’s administration pushes to finalize new trade agreements, with the clock ticking toward an August 1 deadline. Without a deal, tariffs on EU goods could spike as high as 50%, sweeping in everything from French cheese and Italian wine to German electronics and cars. Negotiators met throughout the weekend, and the pressure is mounting on both sides to strike an accord before the punitive measures kick in, as reported by DW.

Back in April, President Trump declared a national emergency over what he characterized as unfair foreign practices, invoking the International Emergency Economic Powers Act to levy a 10% tariff on imports from all countries, including those in the EU. This universal tariff was set for April 5, and in addition to these blanket duties, the administration pledged individualized, higher tariffs for countries with which the U.S. runs its largest deficits. For the EU, this has meant negotiations to not only accept the 10% baseline but to seek exemptions or lower rates for key sectors such as pharmaceuticals, alcohol, and semiconductor exports, along with quotas and auto and metal carve-outs. According to the White House, these tariffs will remain until the administration determines the trade deficit threat is addressed.

Over the last three months, there was a temporary pause on the steepest country-by-country tariffs, which had ranged from 10% to 50%. That reprieve ends July 9, and according to Time Magazine, the EU is rushing to secure at least an agreement in principle with the U.S. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen confirmed last week that reaching a full, detailed deal with Washington before the deadline would be “impossible,” but signaled optimism for a basic framework agreement.

Meanwhile, the EU stands ready to retaliate if U.S. duties are enacted. Brussels has delayed the introduction of reciprocal tariffs on U.S. goods, but without progress, products from American whiskey to tech components could soon face extra duties when entering the European market, referencing updates from the Trade Compliance Resource Hub.

The stakes are massive: Eurostat data cited by DW pegs daily trade in goods and services between the EU and the U.S. at nearly €4.6 billion. Both governments know that prolonged tariffs at the current or higher rates would reverberate through global supply chains and put upward pressure on consumer prices—concerns that have business and industry groups on high alert across both continents.

Keep an eye out for breaking news in the next 48 hours. Significant announcements from both sides are anticipated, as negotiators face one of the most consequential trade deadlines in years.
