The European Commission has urged Washington to stick to the terms of last year’s EU-US trade agreement, after US President Donald Trump unveiled fresh global tariff hikes that have rattled markets and raised fresh legal questions.
In a firm but measured statement released on Sunday, the EU Commission stressed that commitments made between the two sides must be respected. “A deal is a deal,” it said, underlining that the European Union expects the United States to honour the joint understanding reached in 2025 – just as Brussels says it continues to do.
