EU Urges USA to Show Interest in Trade Talks

The EU has made it clear that we are ready to discuss. We want to give space for negotiations, says Sefcovic in a debate in the EU Parliament in Strasbourg.

The debate takes place simultaneously as his top official, German Sabine Weyand, leads a delegation on a visit to Washington.

Sefcovic repeats the EU's offer to, for example, introduce mutual zero tariffs on all industrial goods, including cars and car parts. At the same time, he makes it clear that the EU is using the ongoing 90-day "tariff pause" to prepare its own measures against the USA.

All alternatives are still on the table, emphasizes Sefcovic>
