The European Union and the United States have sealed a written document this Thursday that replicates the terms of the agreement they achieved in July to avoid a tariff war. According to him, in Scotland a few weeks ago, Washington will impose a 15% tariff to most European and Brussels imports undertakes to buy more energy and military material worth 750,000 million dollars, among other measures.
Brussels later defended that the agreement, which was not well received by many countries, allowed to avoid a tariff war in which Trump had threatened to impose generalized tariffs of 30 % on European imports and even superior in certain sectors. The president of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, publicly assured that he supported the agreement reached
To date, only the maximum 15 % tariff imposed by Washington to the EU has been effective, but it was pending to detail in writing which European products were included in said top, which could affect cars, semiconductors or the pharmaceutical sector.
During the negotiations, Trump himself has maintained uncertainty by threatening to place tariffs by 35 % if the EU did not fulfill its part of the treatment.
