EU-US trade is worth 1.6 trillion euro/year, delivering fantastic results for both sides: ✅€5.3 trillion in mutual investment ✅3.4 million US workers are employed thanks to EU investment ✅EU = reliable source of critical supplies ✅EU = largest buyer of US natural gas & oil

The US exported $609 billion in goods and services to the EU in 2023. EU-headquartered companies have invested a total of $2.4 trillion in the United States and these investments support 3.4 million jobs. Clearly, we are better together. (3/3)

Presidential press point with Ursula von der Leyen & Donald J. Trump ahead of EU-US trade talks.

The new U.S. tariffs reflect the first results of the EU-US deal, esp. the 15% all-inclusive tariff cap. This reinforces stability for 🇪🇺 businesses as well as trust in the transatlantic economy. EU exporters now benefit from a more competitive position. The work continues.

The EU is focused on extracting maximum positives from our talks with the US. A few weeks ago, we were staring down the barrel of a 30% tariff. We succeeded in reducing this to a 15% ceiling (incl. clear commitments from US on cars, pharma, semiconductors). The work continues.
