EU governments adopt legislation to fulfil EU side of US trade deal

European Union governments have greenlit legislation to eliminate import duties on numerous U.S. products, honouring a trade pact with President Trump and averting further trade disputes. This move, approved by the European Parliament, ensures the EU meets a July 4 deadline. The agreement grants U.S. industrial goods and farm produce preferential access, including duty-free lobster imports, with safeguards against U.S. breaches until 2029.
