ADVERTISEMENTUS President Donald Trump announced a 90-day pause in imposing additional tariffs on all countries, excluding China, almost a month ago. In response, the EU executive has put its trade retaliation measures on hold for 90 days to give negotiations a chance.
One month into this pause, are talks advancing? What is the EU’s strategy? And is it possible no agreement will be reached? We ask Sven Van Kerckhoven, professor of political economics at Brussels university VUB.
We also head to Strasbourg for the European Parliament’s plenary sessions, which start today and will see MEPs discuss key topics such as peace in Ukraine and the power outage in Spain and Portugal. Additionally, we examine the income tax rates paid by workers in different European countries, including the highest and lowest.
