EU lawmakers have added 'safeguard' clauses to a controversial trade deal with the US, hoping to mitigate future tariff risks from President Trump by embedding mechanisms that allow the EU to terminate the agreement.
EU lawmakers have introduced 'safeguard' mechanisms into a trade deal with the US, effectively giving the EU the power to 'pull the plug' if President Trump violates the agreement. This action comes after Trump recently threatened new tariffs and issued an ultimatum due to delays in implementation, following earlier tensions over his remarks on Greenland. The strategy is viewed as risky, as EU officials are betting that the specific details within the fine print of the legal agreement may escape Trump's immediate attention.
