The European Commission has issued a strong demand for the United States to honor the trade agreement established in the summer of 2025 by former President Donald Trump and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen. This agreement included a 15% tariff on European products while reducing tariffs on certain American goods. However, recent rulings from the U.S. Supreme Court have overturned much of this tariff policy, prompting fears of a trade crisis between the EU and the US.

The Commission's statement comes on the heels of growing frustrations regarding U.S. trade policies, especially after the Supreme Court decision, which has left many aspects of the original agreements in limbo. The EU is keen to ensure that products from Europe receive the "most competitive treatment" in the U.S. market, emphasizing the importance of honoring international agreements. The call for adherence to the pact reflects broader concerns within the EU about the stability of trade relations with the U.S.

In light of the changes in the U.S. administration's stance on tariffs and trade, the EU is urging a return to negotiation to facilitate smoother trade exchanges. With ongoing threats of additional tariffs from the U.S., the European Commission’s insistence on compliance with previous agreements is a strategic effort to maintain economic stability and avoid potential trade wars that could impact both economies significantly.
