EU Parliament committee backs cutting US tariffs to avert trade clash
Move to remove import duties on US goods signals strong support ahead of decisive mid‑June vote
Brussels: A European Parliament committee voted on Tuesday to remove EU import duties on many US goods, a step to comply with the trade deal agreed with the United States last year and avert the return of transatlantic tariff conflict.
The legislation still needs to be approved by the full EU assembly in mid‑June, but the committee’s backing on Tuesday gives a strong indication of how that decisive vote will go.
