The European Parliament's Committee on International Trade approved legislation to eliminate EU duties on most US industrial goods, paving the way for a final adoption of the EU-US deal later this month. The deal, struck by US President Donald Trump and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, includes a 15% US tariff rate and a commitment to reduce EU tariffs on US products to zero. However, some safeguards were weakened during negotiations, and the final agreement includes a sunset clause ending on 31 December 2029.
