US Commerce Secretary Lutnick Says US-EU Trade Talks Continue With Steel, Aluminum, Copper Excluded and Digital Services Pending

US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick stated that there is still considerable negotiation remaining in the ongoing US-EU trade talks, describing the process as having "plenty of horse trading left to do." Key issues under discussion include digital services, taxation, and technology conflicts. Steel, aluminum, and copper have been excluded from the current trade agreements with both the European Union and South Korea, with these sectors set for future negotiations. Additionally, former President Donald Trump acknowledged that natural resources will not face tariffs under the trade arrangements. The US-EU talks are expected to continue as both sides work toward resolving outstanding trade matters.
