EU Expects US to Honor Commitments

The European Commission has expressed its expectation for the United States to honor its commitments as outlined in a joint statement, emphasizing that the EU is fulfilling its own obligations. This statement comes in response to the recent US Supreme Court decision regarding the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. The Commission is seeking full clarity on the measures the US government intends to take and stresses that the current situation does not favor achieving a fair and mutually beneficial trade agreement. Furthermore, it highlights the importance of fair treatment for European companies and exporters, as well as the need for predictability and legal certainty. The Commission is committed to protecting the interests of the EU and continuing to work towards reducing tariffs as stipulated in the joint statement. Finally, it reiterates its priority of maintaining a stable and predictable transatlantic trade environment.
