EU Plans Trade Proposals to U.S. Next Week

The European Union is preparing to present a comprehensive proposal to the United States next week to revive stalled trade negotiations. The plan focuses on reducing both tariff and non-tariff barriers, increasing EU investment in the U.S., and enhancing collaboration on global issues such as China's steel overcapacity. The proposal also includes commitments to buy more U.S. goods, such as liquefied natural gas and advanced technologies. Discussions within the EU are ongoing, and the details may be adjusted before the offer is formally delivered. This initiative reflects the EU's intent to strengthen economic ties with the U.S. and address shared international concerns, even as it maintains the option of retaliatory measures should talks fail.
