According to Euronews, the European Commission is preparing to accept fresh US tariffs once the current regime lapses. Although officials have described the upcoming duties as unjustified, the Commission's stated priority is to ensure that tariffs on European goods remain below the 15 per cent cap established by the July 2025 trade agreement between the EU and the US.
