A spokesperson for the European Commission stated that the EU is fulfilling its commitments under an agreement with the US according to its legislative rhythm and is keeping the American Administration informed of progress. Paula Pinnio noted that if the United States also takes action, the EU will respond. US President Trump had previously announced tariffs to be imposed starting next week. In exchange, tariffs on US imports to Europe are to be reduced to zero. The European Commission stated on May 1st that the EU reserves all options to protect its interests if the US adopts measures inconsistent with the EU-Mercosur trade agreement.
