The European Union is currently facing a looming threat from the United States as the two sides engage in talks to re-shape their economic relationships. With a 90-day deadline set by the US to make significant changes, the EU is left wondering whether it will need to utilize its ‘trade bazooka’ against its transatlantic partner.
At the heart of the dispute are goods, but the situation could potentially escalate to impact services as well. This has raised concerns about the implications for consumers on both sides of the Atlantic. To shed light on this complex issue, DW Business spoke with Sophia Busch, Assistant Director at the Atlantic Council’s GeoEconomic Center.
The outcome of these negotiations could have far-reaching consequences for the global economy, particularly as the EU and US are key players in international trade. As tensions continue to simmer, it remains to be seen how both parties will navigate this challenging situation and whether a mutually beneficial agreement can be reached.
