Dialogue with EU over tariffs still on the cards, says US State Department

Washington is still prepared to negotiate with the EU over tariffs, US deputy spokesperson Mignon Houston told Euronews' Shona Murray in an exclusive interview featured on Radio Schuman today.

The EU is expected to approve a plan today to impose 25% tariffs on a broad range of US goods in response to the United States' earlier duties on steel and aluminium imports.

Earlier this week, US President Trump reaffirmed his intention to maintain global tariffs, despite recent volatility in international financial markets. Nevertheless, Houston acknowledged that the tariff decision marks a significant shift in global trade dynamics. She stated that Washington remains open to negotiations with the EU.

Houston also reiterated the United States' continued commitment to NATO and affirmed Greenlanders' right to self-determination, in light of Trump's expressed interest in acquiring the island.

Radio Schuman also touches on an EU-Ukraine association council meeting taking place today, and a European Parliament debate on Turkey, Serbia and Kosovo.

It also explores labour costs in Europe according to the latest Eurostat data.

Radio Schuman is hosted and produced by Maïa de la Baume, with journalist and production assistant Eleonora Vasques, audio editing by David Brodheim. Music by Alexandre Jas.
