The European Commission is preparing to table emergency legislation this week that would scrap all tariffs on U.S. industrial goods, according to people familiar with the plan. The move answers President Donald Trump’s demand for full industrial tariff relief before Washington reduces its levies on European automobiles. Under the draft, Brussels would also grant preferential rates on selected U.S. seafood and agricultural products and bypass the usual impact assessment to accelerate the timetable. If the proposal reaches the Council and Parliament before the end of the month, the United States has said it will cut its tariff on European cars and parts to 15% from 27.5%, with the lower rate applied retroactively to 1 August. Automobiles are one of the bloc’s most valuable exports; Germany alone shipped about $34.9 billion of vehicles and components to the U.S. last year. Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has called the emerging accord “a strong, if not perfect deal,” while EU officials concede the terms favour the United States but argue that quick certainty is needed after years of trans-Atlantic trade friction. Trump, meanwhile, continues to threaten new duties on countries that tax digital services, a reminder that broader disputes with Europe remain unresolved.
