Von der Leyen offers Trump 'zero-for-zero' tariff deal: If talks fail,
Ursula von der Leyen

The European Commission has offered US President Donald Trump a deal to remove all tariffs on industrial goods as part of trade negotiations.

Ursula von der Leyen has stressed that if the talks fail, the EU will continue its path of retaliation.

"We are ready to negotiate with the US. Indeed, we have offered 'zero for zero' tariffs on industrial goods, as we have successfully done with many other trading partners. Europe is always ready for a good deal. So we keep it on the table. But we are also prepared to respond with countermeasures and defend our interests," Von der Leyen said.

The "zero-for-zero" deal was offered in the past "repeatedly" for the automotive sector, von der Leyen said, "but there was no reaction" from Washington.

The commission expanded the scope to all industrial goods in recent days as talks intensified, a spokesman said without giving further details.

"We prefer to have a negotiated solution," von der Leyen said, warning that her executive would use "all instruments available to strike if necessary," including an anti-austerity instrument that was introduced in 2023 but has never been activated.
