EU-US relations: stability remains the key priority

Trade and international relationsBilateral relationsUnited States

Discussions focused on the key priority for European business: ensuring stability in the transatlantic relationship. They highlighted that both sides must follow through on the implementation of the EU-US Joint Framework Agreement. For the EU, this means adopting the two legislative proposals that would improve access for US exports. For the US, it requires respecting the 15% duty applied to EU exports.

The ongoing Section 301 investigations by the US on overcapacity and forced labour should serve to confirm, rather than undermine, the existing agreement.

We also welcome continued, mutually beneficial EU-US cooperation in other areas, including critical minerals.
