The United States and the European Union reached an agreement on Saturday, October 30, to remove tariffs on steel and aluminum imports. The announcement ends a conflict that has plagued trade relations between Washington and Brussels since the imposition of these taxes by the Trump administration in 2018.
The deal, which US Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo called“Historical”, must allow “Limited quantities of European imports of steel and aluminum to enter the United States duty free”, she explained.
The measures taken in response by the EU, the entry into force of which was scheduled for 1er December, on products like Harley Davidson motorcycles or Kentucky bourbon, will not be applied, said the American minister in a conference call from Rome, where a G20 meeting is being held.
