The prospect of a trade agreement between the EU and the United States remains uncertain. The potential for a 'no-deal' scenario with the Trump administration continues to loom, leaving Europe to consider its response. Strategies could range from pursuing alternative trade partnerships with other global economies to implementing retaliatory tariffs on U.S. goods. The EU's specific actions will likely depend on the nature and severity of any trade disruptions, as well as the political climate at the time.
