00:14Good morning, it's Friday the 24th of July. I'm Maret Gwynn and you're watching Europe Today,

00:21your morning dose of European news and analysis live here on Euronews.

00:26Coming up today, the US administration is imposing a fresh wave of tariffs of between 10% and 12.5

00:34%

00:34on imports from around 80 trading partners, including the EU, UK, Canada and Japan.

00:41The move marks another escalation in President Donald Trump's trade agenda as he sidesteps a Supreme Court ruling earlier this

00:49year

00:50that struck down many of his previous tariffs.

00:52We speak to the EU's top lawmaker on trade, Bernd Lange.

00:57And in other news, oil prices have spiked again, hitting $100 per barrel for the first time since May

01:03as the Tehran-backed Houthi rebels strike tankers in the Red Sea.

01:09US President Donald Trump has said he will hold Iran responsible for those attacks

01:14and that he is considering launching a massive attack on the country.

01:19And at least 20,000 people have been evacuated from their homes as wildfires spread in the southwest of France.

01:28Spain and Italy are also battling wildfires as the heat continues to grip southern Europe.

01:37But first, we're going straight to our top story this morning.

01:39US President Donald Trump is imposing a new wave of tariffs on trading partners,

01:44including a 10% duty on the EU.

01:48The European Commission has said these tariffs are in line with the EU-US trade deal struck last year.

01:54The US administration has also reacted to the EU's €890 million fine on Google yesterday

02:00with trade representative Jameson Greer saying that the EU is driving massive uncertainty for US exporters

02:08and jeopardising the EU-US trade deal struck a year ago.

02:12Well, Bernd Lange is the European Parliament's top lawmaker on trade

02:17and was the lead negotiator on the EU-US trade pact.

02:20He's been in Washington this week and I caught up with him earlier this morning

02:25and I started by asking him where Trump's new tariffs leaves the EU-US trade deal.

02:31In principle, I guess, with this new tariffs, we respect the deal.

02:37And this was also one of my major tasks for this week in Washington

02:42to convince everybody, regardless of what else is in the air, that we stick to the deal.

02:50Yet, you know, this, many would say, is arbitrary.

02:53Many would say that Trump is sidestepping Congress,

02:56sidestepping the Supreme Court's ruling to find new ways to impose tariffs.

03:02Does that worry you that there will be more fresh rounds of levies targeting the EU again?

03:09I think you are quite right.

03:12So Trump and the administration are looking always to solutions for some kind of basis.

03:19So now this forced labour issue, so that we as Europeans are not respecting the fight against forced labour.

03:25It's crazy.

03:26We have a wonderful legislation, even stronger than the United States has.

03:31But nevertheless, it's not my job to judge about that.

03:35I guess the courts in the United States will judge about that.

03:38And I hope that after the midterms in November,

03:42the Congress will take over a little bit more,

03:45like it is written down in the Constitution of the United States.

03:49Article 1, paragraph 8, trade policy is in the hands of the Congress.

03:56So I hope this will give also additional stability.

04:01The US administration has fiercely criticised an EU decision to fine Google under its digital rules yesterday.

04:09Jameson Greer, the trade representative, saying this jeopardises the EU-US trade deal,

04:14calling also for a ceasefire, suggesting that the EU-US are in some kind of trade war.

04:21Do you fear more retaliation now from the US?

04:25More or less than all, in my talks here in Washington,

04:29this DMA and DSA, the digital regulation in Europe, has played a role.

04:36And there was a little bit of fear that because of the fine against Google,

04:42this tariff regime starting today would change.

04:47Luckily not.

04:48But the statement from Jonathan Greer was quite clear,

04:53and a lot of others talked in the same direction.

04:59But of course, for us, it's not mixed.

05:02So we have the tariff, the deal of Scotland, and we have some regulation where everybody,

05:09not only US companies, but also Europeans, whatever, Indian companies, has to respect it.

05:15And this I try to make clear as well.

05:19But nevertheless, DMA, DSA is in the focus in the United States.

05:25And to be honest, I expect that some action will come.

05:32The EU's top trade lawmaker burned Lange there.

05:37Moving on now, the EU has agreed a new round of sanctions against Russia after weeks of frantic negotiations.

05:44Our correspondent, Jorge Liborero, joins me now to discuss the final result,

05:49which I think we can say, Jorge, has been watered down.

05:52So tell us what's in and what's out.

05:53Yes, we're going to see the elements now on the screen of what's inside this package.

05:58And I want to highlight especially that the price cap on Russian oil has been frozen at $44 per barrel,

06:05which is good news for the European Commission.

06:07This is estimated to cost Russia 3.5 billion euros in the next 12 months.

06:13So an important measure.

06:15We see other elements now very financial, you know, very focused on the military complex as well.

06:21But I also have to say that several elements fell apart during the negotiations.

06:26Fisheries removed because of Portugal and Germany.

06:30Patriarch Kyrill removed because of Bulgaria.

06:33And an entry ban on Russian soldiers, which was to be the striking element of this package,

06:39was watered down into a legal basis because of objections from France and Italy.

06:45And Jorge, Greece almost derailed this package.

06:47They were demanding exemptions.

06:49Did they get what they wanted?

06:50Interestingly, Greece won the battle because they did get the exemption to continue transport of Russian LNG after this year.

06:59This exemption comes with three conditions.

07:02The transport needs to happen to non-EU clients, needs to happen with contracts signed before the war,

07:09and needs to happen below volumes of 2025.

07:13So these conditions are meant to limit the derogation in practice.

07:18But at the same time, this is a major victory for Athens.

07:21It's a very controversial request.

07:23Indeed, Jorge.

07:24Very briefly, what are your main takeaways?

07:26You followed all the packages.

07:27This is the 21st, your main takeaways.

07:29Yes, my main takeaways are the Commission is running out of ideas, as we saw with FISH.

07:35The second is that the threshold for economic pain is going down, as we saw with Greece and maritime transport.

07:40And the third one is that after Viktor Orban left Hungary, member states need to speak louder to defend their

07:46national interest.

07:48The veto power is still alive and kicking.

07:50Yes, indeed, Jorge.

07:51We did see that this week.

07:53Thank you so much for that analysis.

07:55And as we heard there, this latest package of sanctions has raised questions about how national economic interests could be

08:02undermining political will to keep tightening sanctions on Russia.

08:06Well, I'm now joined live by Ukraine's Presidential Commissioner for Sanctions Policy, Vladislav Vlasiuk.

08:11Very good to have you with us, sir.

08:13Listen, we know that limiting Russia's ability to generate revenues from energy is crucial.

08:18What do you make of the fact that we now have a country, Greece, which has been able to get

08:23an exemption and will continue to make revenue from shipping Russian LNG?

08:33I believe we might have some issues connecting to the Presidential Commissioner for sanctions there.

08:41Perhaps, Jorge, we can come back to you while we're waiting to reconnect to Kiev there.

08:45So, as you said, this threshold for economic pain is going down.

08:50We've seen that with Greece in a different way with Bulgaria opposing the sanctioning of Patriarch Kirill.

08:56And you said you see this potentially becoming an issue as we move into the future.

09:00Now, look into the 22nd package.

09:01There have been many packages of sanctions, Mary.

09:03We need to be honest here.

09:05And this is the fifth year of the war.

09:07So, member states are also tired of making that many sacrifices when it comes to their economy.

09:13I mean, Russia used to be one of our largest trading partners.

09:16So, we need to keep that in mind of how much the economy has changed.

09:20Indeed. Jorge, I believe we can cross back to Kiev and to Ukraine's Presidential Commissioner for sanctions.

09:25So, I'm very sorry for the technical issues.

09:27Good to have you with us.

09:28So, first, can you tell us how you respond now to the fact that Greece has negotiated a special exemption

09:34to the sanctions package

09:36and will continue to make revenue from shipping Russian LNG?

09:46No, I believe we cannot connect with Vladislav Vlasiuk.

09:51Can you hear me, sir?

09:53Can we try once more?

09:56Yes.

09:57Yes.

09:58Good.

09:59Okay.

10:00Let's move on.

10:01We hope to bring back Vladislav Vlasiuk.

10:06Jorge, let's bring you in again.

10:08Glad to have you with me on my side this morning.

10:11Always for sanctions available.

10:13Perhaps briefly on the fisheries issue.

10:16Has that now been completely discarded?

10:18Do you think there will be another attempt?

10:19It's an interesting question.

10:21I think for the time being, they will not try again because it was shut down completely.

10:25And the Commission doesn't like when their proposals are shut down in this way and then completely removed.

10:29They can tolerate that a proposal is watered down like other elements in this package,

10:34but they do not like when it's completely shut down.

10:36So, I think for the time being, fisheries, we're not going to hear Ursula von der Leyen talk about, again,

10:42Cote and Pollack anytime soon.

10:44Okay, Jorge.

10:45Thank you so much.

10:46And we apologise for those technical issues to our viewers there.

10:49Now, we're moving on because nine members of the European Parliament travelled to China this week

10:55in a bid to thaw ears of frozen relations between the EU institution and Beijing.

11:00But with a record trade imbalance and China accused of being an enabler of Russia's aggression in Ukraine,

11:06the visit raises as many questions as it hopes to answer.

11:09Our EU correspondent, Angela Skugin, spoke to European Parliament Vice President Javi López,

11:15who was part of that trip, and began by asking him, why now?

11:20What we want is to relaunch our relations and defend the European interests,

11:25especially address our difference and explore and use our areas of cooperation.

11:31Obviously, multilateralism, the defence of the rules-based order, international law,

11:36the United Nations chapter, fight against climate change,

11:39and ensure that we have economic governance, that it's balanced, that it's stable,

11:45that it's full of certainty.

11:47It's in our mutual interest.

11:49But at the same time, we want to address our differences,

11:52especially the war in Ukraine

11:54and how China could play a stronger role to find a solution

11:59and a peace after the brutal aggression

12:03and obviously tackling trade and trade imbalance,

12:07that it's an important concern for the European public opinion,

12:11for the European economy,

12:14trying to ensure that we have full access to the Chinese.

12:17And maybe if we look at Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine and China's support

12:21for that, as well as the eye-watering trade deficit in China's favour,

12:25how did the MEPs on this trip communicate regarding these points

12:30and was the message received?

12:32How did the Chinese react?

12:34We're extremely consistent during all our meetings,

12:38repeating these two messages.

12:40The need of a full implication of China on the solution,

12:46resolution of a just peace for Ukraine

12:50and especially underlining how the brutal invasion,

12:54illegal invasion and justified invasion of the Russian Federation

12:59to Ukraine is attacking all the European architecture of security.

13:05And at the same time, we also are backing, supporting, pushing

13:11in the ongoing negotiations that the European Commission has

13:16with China, with Commissioner Sefkovic, related to trade.

13:21A few weeks ago, they had an important meeting in Brussels

13:24with a joint press conference.

13:27This will continue this autumn, especially on October.

13:31And you mentioned that October deadline.

13:33This is the month allocated by the European Commission

13:36for Trade, Maros Sefkovic, to establish some kind of conclusion

13:40when it comes to this trade deficit.

13:43And the inference here is that if China doesn't come to the table

13:47and if agreement isn't found, that the EU will act.

13:51You've been on the ground in China.

13:53How do you think that they will respond to these hardball tactics come October?

13:58Well, they have their arguments on that about the application

14:02of the World Trade Organization rules.

14:05But we are insisting on our unsustainable reality for us,

14:11politically and economically, that it's this size,

14:15this volume of trade surplus of China, trade unbalanced,

14:20that it's one billion per day, that it has to be addressed.

14:24And we should find mechanism solutions on this regard.

14:28And is the solution triggering the trade bazooka?

14:31Well, we have our negotiations ongoing.

14:34And what we expect is results and deliver solutions

14:38through these negotiations, through dialogue and cooperation.

14:45That was the European Parliament's Vice President Javi López.

14:48And just like that, it's time for us to say goodbye for the summer.

14:53This is our final episode of Europe Today before we take a short break.

14:57We've shared 155 mornings with you here on Eronews.

15:02So a big thank you goes to you, our viewers, for tuning in.

15:06We've brought you conversations with leaders, ministers and top lawmakers.

15:11So before we go, let's take a look back at some of the moments

15:15that defined this season on Europe Today.

15:18That is absurd and ridiculous.

15:20Spain has a coherent foreign policy.

15:23We have supported Ukraine more than the United States.

15:26This is not a product to deregulate.

15:28This is a product to modernize.

15:30Clearly, Montenegro is doing very well.

15:33We have already approved the Working Party to start drafting the accession treaty.

15:38Dying flamingos, depressed turtles.

15:42Russia's losing ground on the battlefield.

15:44It's losing ground diplomatically.

15:46It was hoping for a long time to divide Europeans.

15:48We've seen exactly the opposite.

15:50And did you discuss Donald Trump's Board of Peace?

15:52Most European countries cannot join.

15:54We haven't seen Russia really taking the talk seriously.

15:58Russia keeps on bombing.

15:59When you don't have much, much money, invest wisely.

16:02This is the mother of all trade deals.

16:04It's something the commission loves to say.

16:06But four Europeans were watching Eronews today and they go, what does that mean?

16:09This is the largest trade deal ever.

16:12Why is Putin deciding to target Latvia in this hybrid war at this moment?

16:19Because he's losing in Ukraine.

16:20Simple.

16:21Yeah, Russia is sending its message that they want to continue this war.

16:25GDP per capita in Germany.

16:27The industrial giant of Europe is now below that of the state of West Virginia.

16:32What I feel these days is that I'm more proud than ever to be European.

16:37But your party has been tinkering away at the Greendale, rolling back parts of the Green Deal.

16:42My party was a La Fond der Leyen party.

16:44My party is a party who did the Green Deal.

16:45Being gay is not a choice, but being homophobic is a choice.

16:48I don't think we will go back to the times where things were more peaceful.

16:52I think in these situations everybody reacts more abruptly than usual.

16:56Yes, Russia is an enemy.

16:58They're attacking a European country.

17:00We think that 2026 should be the year when dictatorships are over.

17:04Trump is desperate for a deal and they have maneuvered him.

17:07They've played him like a violin.

17:09Europe is the only playground within which member states, nations, even France can actually

17:14play a significant role.

17:18Just a taste there of the voices we've heard on Europe today over the past months.

17:23And now our Europe editor, Maria Tadeo, joins me in the studio.

17:27Maria, good morning.

17:28It's been a busy season for you.

17:30What are your reflections?

17:31I look for all of us, Merit.

17:32And I think when we began to work on this show Europe Today and this revamp of Euronews,

17:38and Euronews undeniably has been a staple of European broadcasting now for more than three

17:42decades.

17:43But we know the world is changing and we're seeing dramatic structural changes, very rough

17:49geopolitics.

17:50And we set out to answer two fundamental questions.

17:53And that is, what does it mean for Europe and what does it mean for Europeans?

17:58And look, whether we did a good job or not, ultimately that belongs to our viewers and

18:03our readers.

18:04But I think when you look at that clip that you just played, it does show the commitment,

18:09the very hard work, the responsibility of our newsroom.

18:13We take our editorial standards incredibly seriously.

18:15We take our independence incredibly seriously.

18:18And we take this idea of putting a story from a very unique European perspective every day,

18:23155 episodes.

18:24You know, that's a lot of work.

18:26We take it very seriously.

18:27And of course, we can only thank our EU news team.

18:31That is the core of our operations here in Brussels.

18:33They broke news.

18:34They delivered stories.

18:35They committed to original reporting.

18:37Our team of correspondents, I think if you watch Europe Today, you've seen them all across

18:41Europe talking to the right people and the right story that day.

18:45Some very, very difficult hours or capitals.

18:48And that is the joy of Europe.

18:49And it's a very vast network of European correspondents all across the continent.

18:54Of course, our team that you don't see on camera, but they do a very important job behind

18:59the scenes.

18:59And that is our production, our technical team, our cameramen, our producers, digital

19:04producers, executive producers, Paul and Nico, Maeve, of course, our chief anchor who's

19:09been doing great work for us this season and also this week in Dublin.

19:13And our hair, makeup, the entire team that comes together to deliver a story and also

19:17capture this European zeitgeist.

19:20And Merit, look, at this point, I cannot say too much.

19:23Ultimately, this is TV, but I got to tease it.

19:26We are in television.

19:27This is the business of TV.

19:28But we are working on new formats and new projects.

19:31We set out on a path and we're going to double down on this path come September.

19:34We read and appreciate all the feedback that we get from our viewers, all the emails and

19:40suggestions that they make.

19:41We take all of this into account and look, we cannot wait to be back in September.

19:45And it's also been great to work with you.

19:46You're very talented.

19:47You have a great future ahead of you.

19:48So, you know, it's a privilege and I'm very happy to have been on the show with all of

19:52you.

19:52Well, thank you so much to you as well, Maria, for all your leadership, of course.

19:56And that brings us to the end of this show.

19:59We'll be back, as Maria said, after the summer, ready to do it all again.

20:03Until then, on behalf of everyone here at Europe Today and Euronews, thank you for making

20:07us part of your mornings and we'll see you very soon.
