00:01Despite trade tensions, EU-US goods trade hit a record of $1.05 trillion in 2025, according to a study
00:10released Monday by the American Chamber of Commerce to the European Union.
00:15The US trade deficit in goods with the EU has reached $219 billion in 2025, a decline by just 7
00:23% despite tariffs imposed by the White House to narrow the gap.
00:27The EU barely reduced its exports to the US, the study said.
00:32The report comes as Washington and Brussels remain at odds due to the White House current aggressive trade policy, which
00:39includes tripling US tariffs on the bloc.
00:42A loopsided agreement was struck last summer between EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and US President Donald Trump,
00:50under which the US imposed 15% tariffs on EU goods,
00:54while the EU agreed to eliminate its own tariffs and ramp up investment in the United States.
01:01But the deal remained frozen as EU lawmakers await clarity from Washington after US authorities launched new probes following a
01:09February Supreme Court ruling declaring the 2025 tariffs illegal.
