Despite the optimism in the markets imposed on the progress of the US-European Conversations, the European Union European Union Especially officials have drawn a bleak picture of negotiations that may force the mass to accept long -term American duties.

The European Commission told the European Union member states that Trump’s tariff of 10 % “mutual” It is possible that almost all goods, according to officials and diplomats, are likely to remain, although negotiators are still hoping to reduce the rate.

The evaluation represents a sharp change in the Brussels approach to the talks, which differed from the United Kingdom to refuse to make concessions unilaterally just to reduce duties in the foundation line by 10 percent.

With the failure of the markets to reduce the difficult commercial policy of Trump as much as he hoped for Brussels, the bloc was left in the face of an unequal option between making concessions or revenge, according to officials and diplomats.

Trump imposed an additional 10 percent tariff on most trading partners in the United States, which amounts to about 70 percent of the European Union exports, or 380 billion euros. The United States has insisted that the average of 10 percent is not part of commercial negotiations.

Despite Trump’s readiness to delay the most customary tariff, Bjorn Separte, Chief of Staff at Von der Layen, gave the European Union ambassadors a glory to negotiations, according to the people who were briefed on the meeting.

Taking into account the position of the United States, Seibert set a possible deal One elements It was concluded by the United Kingdom. He suggested that the minimum required to reach an agreement may be the shares of a bottom or free from the customs tariff for sensitive exports such as cars, which are subject to the duties of 25 percent imposed on the foundations of national security. Trump threatened himself for semi -conductors, medicines and other products.

“We have to try to do better than that,” said one of the European Union diplomats. But they admitted that more ambitious targets require the bloc to take counter -measures against the United States.

“Trump does not have the slightest interest in a negotiable solution. He wants us to surrender or face punitive definitions.”

France was the only country that spoke against unilateral concessions and accepted a 10 percent tariff, according to three diplomats. Many member states have previously held similar positions.

As part of its presentation to Washington, Brussels will also provide liberation of liberation and expand a recent campaign to cut the red strip of companies that can be installed to Trump as benefit to the US business.

It was not clear whether Sieber intended to increase the scope of the European Union’s plans to cancel restrictions, or simply submit current measures in commercial negotiation, according to diplomats.

The leaders of France and Germany have already called on the committee to cancel the supply chain that forces major companies at the expense of emissions and work practices between suppliers, a major American field.

Most member states want to cancel new proposed controls on goods that may have been produced on the lands that are made for “low -risk” countries, including the United States.

Prime Minister Italy, Georgia Meloni, who spoke strongly against any tariff, is playing a pivotal role in the talks. The national politician spoke to Trump, a long ally, to ask him to accept a call from von der Layen during the weekend.

Roma still prefers both sides to remove customs tariffs on all industrial goods and some agricultural commodities, but ambassadors were told that the United States is not interested. Instead, officials said that the European Union can reduce some customs tariffs.

Other US demands include canceling digital taxes and value -added tax and changing food standards to allow more American products.

Sepert explained that the European Union should be ready to take counter measures if the conversations fail. The European Union has during the negotiations Stop a package of 21 billion euros Among up to 50 percent on American commodities such as corn, wheat, motorcycles and clothes. These are designed to take revenge on the Trump steel tariff.

The committee also consults the member states on a list of 95 billion euros of other elements, including Boeing aircraft, cars and borbon whiskey, which will be hit in response to Trump’s “mutual” duties.

Some member states defend a quieter approach, on the pretext that it is possible to change Trump. The second European Union diplomat said: “Politically it is not possible to settle 10 percent of the customs tariff without taking any measures of ourselves. Companies and citizens will not accept this,” said the second European Union diplomat.
