EU Pitches Zero-Tariff Trade Deal in Response to Trump Tariffs

Trump’s tariffs are already forcing negotiations. 

According to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, at least 70 counties want to come to the bargaining table. 

Now the European Union has proposed a zero-tariff trade agreement aimed at easing tensions and fostering economic cooperation across the Atlantic. 

The EU’s offer, described as a “zero-for-zero” deal, would eliminate tariffs on a wide range of goods traded between the U.S. and the 27-nation bloc. European leaders argue that such an agreement could stabilize markets, lower consumer prices, and prevent a potential trade war that could ripple through the global economy. 

Trump responded to the news, saying; “The EU offered zero-for-zero tariffs on cars and industrial goods, hoping to stall Trump, he sent them back to the negotiating table instead. The globalists are rattled, as he isn’t playing by the old rules; he’s not asking for fairness, he’s demanding results. This isn’t diplomacy. It’s a reset.”

Trump’s tariffs on EU countries are as follows: 

Steel and Aluminum

• Steel: 25%
• Aluminum: 25%

Automobiles and Auto Parts

• Rate: 25%

Reciprocal Tariff ("Liberation Day" Tariff)

• Rate: 20%

Baseline Tariff on All Imports

• Rate: 10%
