The transatlantic partnership deserves a negotiated solution, meaningful for both sides.

Any final outcome must thus work for businesses on both sides - this is what the EU Commission continues to pursue.

Concerted, genuine efforts on both sides can get us across the finish line.

The EU welcomes US & China announcing a roll-back on imposing tariffs for 90 days.

The EU has consistently stated its opposition to such tariffs, and we welcome any step that supports stability & predictability for global trade/investment, provided global rules are respected.

Big shout out to the @ucc.ie students visiting the EU Commission Press Room today!

As a proud UCC Alumnus myself, it's very heartening to see young Irish people learning more about the EU institutions and I hope many will consider future careers therein.

EUROPE NEEDS YOU!

US tariffs will harm the US, EU & global economy.

That's why we want to avoid them.

That's why we're saying to the US:

There's a better way to do this. Let's sit down & discuss what that better way might look like.

So we can avoid this pain - for you, for us, for everyone.

On tariffs, the EU is prepared for whatever may come.

We deeply regret the imposition of tariffs by the US and we call on them to be revoked.

We want to negotiate to avoid such tariffs - they bring nothing but lose-lose outcomes.

We want to focus on win-win outcomes.
