On Tuesday, EU Trade Commissioner Maroš Šefčovič told parliamentarians to continue forward with the EU-US trade deal, even though Washington is adding fresh tariffs and there is legal uncertainty over the deal’s terms.
The pact was suddenly put on hold on Monday after the US Supreme Court ruled that most of the tariffs the White House imposed worldwide in 2025 were unlawful. Soon after the verdict, US President Donald Trump said that imports from US allies, like the EU, will have new 10% tariffs.
Šefčovič reminded MEPs, “We must keep the process moving forward in fulfilling our promises.” “Getting a vote in plenary in March is still our goal, but only if we get more information from the US.”
Šefčovič also added that his US counterparts had called him as of Saturday to “reassure” him that they will “stick” to the pact if the EU “respect the deal.”
But the pact, which Trump and Commission President Ursula von der Leyen signed in July 2025 after weeks of trade brinkmanship, is now up in the air and requires the European Parliament’s approval to take effect.
