Online reports, according to the British Financial Times, EU negotiators are about to reach a trade agreement with US President Trump that will confirm that the EU faces tariffs higher than the treatment enjoyed by the UK. It is reported that Brussels is preparing to sign an interim "framework" agreement that, while negotiations continue, stipulates that the US president's "reciprocal" tariffs will be 10%, equivalent to the benchmark tariff imposed on the UK, while negotiations continue. But six diplomats familiar with the situation said the EU is not expected to gain the same level of U.S. market access as British steel, automobiles and other products affected by industry tariffs. In addition, Trump also called for a 17% tariff on EU agricultural products. One diplomat said: "The UK agreement is better than this. Considering how long we have been negotiating, this is surprising." (Jin Shi)
