European Parliament approves trade deal cutting tariffs on US goods.
The European Parliament voted to cut tariffs on US imports to comply with a deal struck in 2025. The deal limits US tariffs on most EU goods to 15% in exchange for the EU removing duties on US industrial goods. Final approval by EU member states is expected by late June 2026.
